Product Description
Here is our new split toe norwegian penny loafer made in fine cherry shell cordovan.
Featuring a beautifully handsewn apron. Many hours are needed to produce a so delicate stitching, that just the master craftsmen can achieve, but it is trully worth the result!
This very limited Meermin Shell Cordovan shoes are made, using the Shell Cordovan handmade by a family owned tannery in the heart of Japan, following ancient methods. Full vegetable tanned made following a 10 month process where every shell is pit tanned, naturally air dried & glazed by hand in order to achieve its very transparent & characteristic finish. That is quite a long process, but the result its totally worth it!
Now for the production of our Shell cordovan shoes & boots, we even use French calf for the lining & 100% leather heel counters! To get an even better, more comfortable & long lasting shoe.
Shoes made with this beautiful leather are made to last & get more confortable over the time. Shoes with this precious leather will develop a deep patina over the time, that will add its very own special character.
Unfortunately nowadays, Shell Cordovan quantities are very restricted and because of that, these runs are extremely limited.
Our shoes & boots are Goodyear Welted following traditional techniques by skillful artisans. This loafers are made to last and to just get better looking & more confortable over the time. As all our shoes, this penny loafer is fully leather lined & made using full grain vegetable tanned leather insoles.
Goodyear welted on our classic loafer RON last , that is perfectly balanced for loafers. Finished with a beautiful chestnut tanned leather JR sole! As all our leather soled shoes featuring a convenient close channel sole stich.

Common Fit Questions
Can I use my sneaker's size as a reference?
Goodyear Welted shoes & sneakers are made & fit quite differently. Sneaker fit is quite forgiving, whereas in a Goodyear Welted pair of shoes you'd like to have a close and adjusted feel in order to have the best and most comfortable fit.
Said that, better to compare with another pair of Goodyear Welted or dress shoes you have or have tried before.
What do you recommend if I am in between sizes?
If you're in between sizes, size up. Too tight shoes will end up resulting uncomfortable or not wearable.
Do your lasts fit all the same?
No they don't. Said that, most of our lasts are UK E width (medium/regular fit) and you most likely will be wearing the same size across many of them.
We recommend checking our Lasts page for a more detailed description of each of the lasts we currently have in production.
I wear a special size, can you produce a pair for me?
Sure! Most of our ready to wear production goes from size 6UK to 12UK, but if you happen to wear a smaller or larger size, we can definitely help & specially make any pair from our collection for you. Please do contact our CX Team, we'll be delighted to assist you.
I wear orthotics—Can I remove the insoles?
The answer is no, but there are a few exceptions. The leather insole is a structural part of our shoes/boots, is where the Welt & uppers are stitched through the welting process, and so it cannot be removed.
Said that, there is one exception, which is our Ultraflex System construction, which aside from the structural leather insole also comes with an additional memory foam insole on top of it. This memory foam insole can be removed easily.
