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

The blog post that I pulled the photo from refers to it as cuero. Could be tan, though. Thanks for the additional info.

Good point, it does say cuero. It seems like there are slight variations in the coloring of "cuero" and obviously lighting in the photo plays a big part. I have model 80251 that appear darker and are listed as cognac calf, also referred to on the website as chestnut but the box lists the color as cuero. In the end it seems all of these terms are being used by Carmina to describe the same color so it can be a bit confusing. However, I do believe Skoak is offering a slightly different color they refer to as "tanned calf" which I guess isn't as aggressively colored so the shade is a bit lighter. I guess I thought that was the color of the semi-brogues being sold by The Armoury. *SHRUG*

Either way, the model burnished by Ethan is gorgeous and I would love to be able to do that to my 80251s.

Here's a pic of mine taken with a POS P&S...I guess in the right light they appear about the same.

ANYWAY...Sorry to continue the discussion.

Oh not mine. I would have at least thrown in the word "Carmina" in the listing title

Those are stunning!

That is almost the same boot we doing for our MTO. The only difference is ours will be Oscar last and a flat welt. We have five for this so just need one more.

Bought these loafers in the barcelona shop today. Saw a pair of dark blue cordovan brogues; thinking about them...

Just in: Carmina 80249 wingtip on the Oscar last, tanned grain calfskin. Pretty sweet make up if you ask me.

Other than AE /Alden, you're not going to get shell for a whole lot less. And you won't get this shade from either of those brands. Carmina's shell palette is quite impressive. Leatherfoot offers a similar pair for CDN$830: http://www.leatherfoot.com/shop/shoes/carmina-shoemaker/car-80105-010

This exact one will run about that much, but knowing your preference for the Simpson last, you might want to check out this link for the Carmina e-boutique. They have the Simpson last equivalent for about $650 shipped after the VAT deduction. Lots of sizes still available.
