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

My wife to be glanced at my phone the other day and asked why I was watching Appreciation when I received an email update about this thread.

Needless to say, she's still my wife to be...

Haha. So that is two! Mostly every other brand has an "appreciation" thread.

Lol, I was browsing this page from laptop the other day. My girlfriend walked over and asked me what kind of Appreciation I was into, at which point I had to open the tab and explain to her I was looking at shoes. She looked surprised and then clarified her question: no, what kind of Appreciation do you watch?

It's just a sticky mess now

When I created the shell cordovan thread I called it Pr0n and it's amazing how much arrangement of two letters matter

Never said I support a name change? Rather showing my appreciation. This was my ticket to freedom...



Lol, j/k name change would be nice.

True. I did throw you under the bus, there.

What are the chances that we could get this thread re-named?? haha. I know I shouldn't be looking at this site at work, anyway, but if I do have it open I'd rather it not say anything having to do with p0rn at the top. Am I the only one?

You have my support on the name change. I've had to do some explaining to my wife when she saw the thread title on on my phone and laptop. Also worried that people at work will get the wrong idea...not that staring at shoe pics doesn't already garner some questions...

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but there's a sale on the Carmina website, quite an extensive range of shoes

Indeed! Thanks for the heads-up.

Sale is for big and small sizes only. Sale has been running for a while.

Anyone have advice on how the Queens last fits compared to the Rain?

Anyone have advice on how the Queens last fits compared to the Rain?

Rain seems a bit longer because it's narrower and more chiseled toward the front. Similar raised toeboxes. Rain also seems to be a bit wider around the ball of the foot, but that may be because my Queens pair is shell and my Rain pairs are calf and suede. I take the same size in both.

I did my best to line them up at the back. Both 9UK.

Shell pair - Queens
Suede pair - Rain

Toeboxes:


And a shot from above.

Thank you very much for the response. Very helpful. I should take the same size in both lasts, then.
