Amazing, can't wait to see them in action.


thanks man. Alcudia last is smaller and narrower than other Carmina lasts. I usually measure 13 x 4.5 in about 75% of my lasts and this one measures at 12 3/4 x 4 3/8. Fit is similar to EG 888

Thanks for the info on the last, appreciate it! How do they fit you, are they too small?

It's the same as the Simpson last AFAIK... only the shape of the toe changes.

BTW if you get any model on the Simpson or Alcudia lasts I strongly recommend Carmina shoe trees. They are very expensive but seem to be made specifically for these two lasts, and fit like lasted trees. They don't fit that well into my Detroit last pair, though.

But can you feel them, too? They look significantly lighter in the action shot---is that just the lighting? If not, which color is more accurate?
