how do i take care of my brown leather shoe?

Generally taking care of brown or black or any other typical calf leather shoes is the same. You can refer to the general guideline here: http://www.hangerproject.com/shoe-care-guide/

Hello everyone, wanna ask what's the thoughts like / opinions of Meermin ( in terms of quality, shipping etc )??? Not expecting too much of it since it's not a high end brands, currently looking at their loafers. Cheers!

They are a brand that offers fairly good value at that price point.
There will be imperfections in execution, some inconsistencies in sizing, leather quality. And finishing may not be very good. But do moderate your expectations and i think you'll be Ok.
I haven't owned any but judging from what friends say, their Ron last can be quite tricky to size due to a wide heel, so perhaps it would be good to see if any of the guys here wear something in your size and see if they would be willing to let you try.

Ohh I see, thanks a lot for clarifying my doubts. I've just happened to come across another brand, Crownhill. How does it fares against Meermin since both of them belongs to the same price range.

Must say i have no knowledge or experience with that brand but for a pretty good brand in the price range of meermin i think you can consider duggers

OK who need trees can drop me a pm.

If I may add furher to the list of recommendations by Bro thundermarch, I would recommend, Loake and Markowski too, but need to top-up a bit more. Loake's lasts may appear religiously conservative but you can try them physically at Robinsons. As for Markowski, there are no physical stores/rep here but you can get them online. There's a bit of Septíème Largeur feeling here. Hehe.

Thanks for the recommendations bro!!! Hmmm I've just checked out the Loake's webby, looks like they don't do international shipping??? Looks like I might have to drop by Robinsons. Markowski looks good, the one I'm looking for isn't available at the webby though
