Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

I believe so. Though Carmina do have the same style in different colours, and a similar colour in cordovan.

Try emailing Betty from Carmina directly. They offer direct sales -- they don't necessarily put all their models on the online store.

Would be a shame of it was an MTO - those look like an incredible pair of full brogues. Carminas are awesome shoes and for the price paid it's unbeatable value.

I should clarify that I took the meaning to be whether these shoes are made especially for Skoaktiebolaget. I've personally only seen them available at Skoaktie, but I have seen a very similar version (with a purple interior) at Gentlemen's footwear:

They are available in a few colours in cordovan on the Carmina website, and in black calf.

I'm guessing Papa wanted to take advantage of the free shipping Carmina are offering.

Actually come to think of it, Carmina does seem to do MTO's for certain shops. Some shoes at Skoak don't appear on Unipair and vice versa. And Armory markets their Carminas as 'Carmina for The Armory'.

Not sure if this is their business model but seems interesting.

You say take advantage.

I like to consider myself abusing Carmina's generosity!

I'll shoot off the relevant emails. Your shoes look amazing and I must have them.

Part 1 of our new arrivals. Black calf, grey calf, brown suede, brown lizard, and navy cordovan.

Those are a great looking selection. Congratulations. I expect you will sell the hell out of those. I never knew I needed a pair of grey shoes until I saw those.

What are the lasts on the grey calf, brown lizard and navy cordovan models?

I'll speak with Carmina on Monday! Sounds like a nice make up.

I'm also intrigued by a U wing boot. Has this ever been made?

Any feedback from Betty on the rain last wingtip boot?

Very nice UG - the grey calf is most intriguing.

It would be on the Rain but if there is a more interests for other lasts I willing to change the last. Unfortunately Carmina only allows one width, different sizes are welcome but only one width.
