Product Description
Introducing the Meermin Exclusive Heritage Shell Cordovan Chukka boots: something really unique that we've been working for a long time until we got it just right. The Classic Shell Cordovan, tanned the traditional way exclusively made for us.
As we did for the Waxy Shell Cordovan, we've worked exclusively with American shells—tanned by traditional vegetable tanning expert & family owned tannery, to develop this article exclusively made for Meermin. Shell Cordovan is one of the most sought-after leathers in the shoemaking industry, and that is simply because it is so good.
The Heritage Shell Cordovan is tanned the old way; full vegetable, slow pit tanned, air dried and hand finished resulting in an extremely dense while pliable leather, with a very transparent & unique finish that characterizes Shell Cordovan leather.
Also we’ve used the recently introduced City Lug rubber sole; our newest addition to our rubber sole range; made using a new and more substantial compound featuring a lower lug pattern, providing excellent resistance to wear and exceptional traction while keeping a very proportionate look.
Properly made. Quality Radically affordable.

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.
