Thank you.You've got a great collection, sir. Well done
No worries, I actually asked myself the same question. I really wanted a more casual boot than what was available and I figured that by buying direct from Carmina and having the boots resoled I could create my own MTO boot for about the same as Epaulet charges for their group MTO's.ok so i am confused, you bought a brand new carmina shell cordovan boot and immediately re-soled it? if so why would you do this? i am not trying to be rude, honestly i dont understand. Unless this is a re-sole after lots of wear
So I placed an order on 9/29. According to tracking info I just got, shoes shipped 10/3 and were delivered today via DHL. 40EUR doesn't seem so bad for overnight shipping.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. GG increase prices once, sometimes twice a year, EG just raised their prices in September (will kick in Jan 1). A GG MTO boot in Cordovan would be something like €1500. GG increased their MTO surcharge a few months back from ca €150 to €200. It's just a simple fact that MTO is a big hassle at the factories and they're all realizing they need to increase their MTO surcharges.. This is of course bad news for both us retailers and consumers, but you have to look at it from the makers point of view as well.
It's been quite a while since Carmina increased their prices, so I guess we should have seen it coming. In my opinion Carmina is still very good value for money.
