Well, there are a few pairs of mid-length bal boots floating around.

Ranger: Those look awesome!

Good choice. Tried them on myself when I last visited skoab. Really versatile as you say.

I can't entirely get this shoe out of my head:

Could anybody advise me on sizing? I'm an 11.5E UK in EG's 888 last, and an 11E UK in most CJ lasts...

Machine welting (using the Goodyear welting machine) usually, possibly always, involves gemming.

Great Link, thanks for sharing.

Fantastic shoe, colour and last...I got me a pair from SKAB and have to say they the most comfortable pair of Carminas I possess.

I wear 8.5E in C&J and took the same....fitting is great.

C&J and Carmina are very similar in size.

I was just with a friend at  skoaktiebolaget who is a C&J size 7UK and he bought a Carmina size 7UK.

Another friend is a size 10UK for C&J and also for Carmina.

I am a size 6.5UK C&J for all lasts and 7E for EG 888 and sadly havent tried any Carmina yet, since skoaktiebolaget start most their Carmina shoes at 7, but I would feel pretty safe buying a size 6.5 Carmina.

...and they are beatiful shoes I agree :) 

Hope that helps

Thanks for the advice, but apparently they're out size 11 

I sent a mail to Carmina directly. Lets hope that works out...
