Oxford & Evergreen Meermin 101240 Wholecut Dress Shoes, Black Calfskin

O&E NOTES:

– fit: IMPORTANT: Meermin are renowned for their exceptional style, quality, and value, and for the rather difficult break-in period; before wearing these at any important event, wear them several times to soften the leather: start with a few hours at a time, and work up to a full day; they will be worth the extra effort

– alternatives: for an emergency back-up plan that won’t break the bank, try this cheap and cheerful pair by Kenneth Cole at Macy’s; just be sure to try them on in person to confirm the right fit!
