Depends on the last. And sleek vs rounded can be somewhat subjective. Finally, last i recalled meermin website includes images of the shoes they carry which u can view and make your own assessment.

Thanks. Prob is the pic can be deceiving as i look at them hard enough and still cannot be decided. But i guess the design should be more conservative. How about penny loafer by Carmina?

Carmina lasts for loafers that i've come across to date (uetam and simpson lasts) are sleek imho. Simpson being more contemporary looking with a chisel toe.

Also to add on that Simpson last is not suitable for folks with wide feet.

Agreed, Rain last is more suitable for those with wide feet. Unless, one's willing to sever the pinky, or even ring toes. Heh.

Just received my Meermin MTO museum calf loafers... I must say I'm a little disappointed at the finishing, not to say that I didn't expect it in the back of my mind but still a tad disappointing nonetheless.
Pics to come later on!

This disappointment along with an absolutely incompetent customer service (or what they call as "customer service") encounter has made me decide that this will be my last pair with them.

so serious?

although i also not satisfied with my meermin monk too... the right shoe there is some scuff marks :s22: hopefully with some polishing, it will reduce a bit.

The finishing was not as good as I had expected. A bit of crème and polish would hide it but not acceptable for me.

The real deal breaker is the customer service. I can't deal with the thought that if there are problems with my shoe, I'd just have to suck it up.

How about Inca last?

Is it the same as rain, except it's round while rain is square?
