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

[NAMOR]



Just had a chance to open up my box from Adam and the guys at Skoaktiebolaget.

At a quick first glance both the spectators as well as the grey suede's I purchased are absolutely stunning - even nicer than my first 2 pairs of Carmina's.


Will post pictures little bit later tonight.

These are my new pickups from the folks at Skoaktiebolaget, they were a pleasure to deal with and I received the shoes in less than a week to the US from Stockholm.


These pictures don't do these shoes justice what so ever. I own John Lobb, Edward Green, and Gaziano & Girling respectively, however for the price I don't believe there is anything that comes close to these shoes.


Thanks guys

Please excuse my crappy iphoto's

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Lovely shoes! Congratulations!

Damn, Brioni, those spectators are hot.

Honestly as beautiful as they look in Skoak's pictures, doesn't come close to how gorgeous they are IRL. Beautiful in every which way, and the fit is impeccable.

Grab them both while you can.

Only thing I'd change if I could is the side's of the soles on the grey suede to black instead of dark brownish...

The Adelaide's are just wow

 

[Henry Carter]

Have to agree those Adelaide's are awesome, if only they weren't Simpson lasted. I seem to only be able to wear the Simpson in a derby, oxfords are just a bit tight.

If you could get five other people interested, you could do an MTO for the standard price of a pair, Jason.

 

[TehBunny]

I Bet your interested already Gerry

 

[Gerry Nelson]

Nah, man. I'm done for now. Just watching.

Ha me too, no shoes for me for a while. All these nappies and baby stuff is expensive man.

Tell me about it! I got another one in the production line due in May. A kid that is, not a MTO

 

[Gerry Nelson]

Leaves, I'm sure you will be more than happy with the outcome of your 'project'

 

[diglett]

Speaking of potential MTOs...with that lizard Carmina chelsea on the front page, would anyone be interested in a lizard chelsea or jodhpur for this coming Autumn? That would put us around May for deposits, accounting for Carmina's summer vacation, and delivery in September.

Yeah, perfect timing as well, I can take some paternity leave just in time for the Football World Cup next summer.

Back on topic, I'm going to be at the Carmina factory in Inca on Monday (March 4). Any requests for photos or intel?
