Guys, help me please. I have the Church Consul last 173. They are very good for me in 8UK size. What size Carmina Simpson last I need to buy? Size 8 ? Simpson is narrow in the toe. Maybe 8.5 ?

Your Church Consul last 173.

Is it a G or F fitting?

Take a look inside the shoes and see if you can see the letter G or F handwritten inside...
Once we have this info, then it's easier to determine your fit.

I must admit - for the money you were paying say 5 years ago...no one could beat Crockett & Jones for design; heritage and quality.

Now being a proud owner of Carmina shoes, they are truely outstanding value for the quality, workmanship and design....and
real competition for Crocketts... let hope any profit re-invested back into the shoes.....

Carmina = Good value.

I ordered 3 pairs of shoes, 2 shoe trees, and a cordovan belt from Carmina (Inca, Spain) and they were shipped to my place in So Cal with no customs/duties owed. It arrived DHL from Spain in 3 days! I will take pics of shoes, but am always traveling. The belt ended up 1 size too small so I will have to find time to sell it. Betty stated that shipping costs wouldn't make it worth exchanging the size. Beautiful products and my wife thought the shoes in Inca last were narrow looking, but I rather more narrow look than square/"blobby" fit for my shoes.

DHL will send you the customs bill in a week most likely
