It seems Carmina has now replaced C&J as the brand of shoe that Hackett stocks in store.

or if they would stop being so stingy on making cordovan shoes on different lasts.

So true. I actually think my modified last shells are nicer than these new Carminas.

Half brogue on the Inca last...I believe the pic you showed might have been the same thing on the Rain last.

Emailed Betty to see if the Inca version was in stock but she said it wasn't because it's new. She doesn't know when it'll be in stock...bummer.

hmmmmmm...........

I love my Carmina's, love my C&Js, love my Aldens. To me each is so different than the others that there really isn't a fair comparison between them.

Hmm, OK. It's a very nice boot, although maybe not exactly what I had in mind. Let me know final specs (last, color, lining, welting, sole) and I might take the plunge. Cannot commit right now.

Are all the models listed in the Carmina website considered MTO except for the ones in the webshop?

No - the makeups on the general website are more or less what is in stock in the various stores. Often they will pull from store inventory and ship to you after some correspondence with the lovely Betty. Although this process can take some time.

If you want a specific makeup from the webpage just jot down the model number from the website and zap 'em a note. Can't hurt to ask.
