My favorite Carmina bad weather boot. Can take a beating and still clean up nice. Oscar last.

Alex72 Gentlemensfootwear have a few pairs available depending on your size.

Thank you for suggesting, I visited Gentlemensfootwear. The shoe collection is amazing.

What color are those laces, Ryden?

these pics are pretty accurate. They are a light colored leather lace. They are the perfect choice I think to juxtapose the darker edge trim with the light crepe sole.

if you are still thinking about a monk this thing is straight bad to the bone

That thing is bad ass isn't it? I tried on a Carmina double monk on Rain in Philly, but I didn't feel like it worked for me. Maybe because I was dressed casually? I feel like I'd have to go back there a bit more dressed and try them on again.

I much prefer a single monk to double personally. I just feel like there is less hardware and the angle of the strap works better for me. Plus it is a longer piece of uninterrupted shell

I can see that. It works out for me as it is one less shoe type I am interested in.

@Bakes11771 We have few extra pairs (from size 7.5 - 9 UK) arriving in stock later this month if you are interested!

They are saddle shell! Cheers!

Broguing is not my thing, but I'm trying to pitch them to my brother-in-law who has a penchant for wingtips. However, he isn't as shoe crazy as I am and seem to be effectively exercising restraint. (Missing out on a good thing, if you ask me.)

These were made for Paul Stuart by Carmina. Any ideas what last this is? I only have experience with the forest and the simpson. I love the toe shape on these.

 

[golfinz]

That doesn't look like any Carmina last I've seen. It might be a last that is only available on a mto

 

[StockwellDay]

I think they are rain but EE.
