To be honest it was the first time for me. It's a shame since I live in Paris and I work 5 min from the store

I wanted to buy some more but I finaly decided to experiment one pair first to see if it fits me well before spending more money in that brand.

Since you're living in Paris, you might want to take a look at Calceon who is offering 50% discount:

Were boots purchased directly from Carmina??.
Yes. Given how busy they must be with both wholesale and retail operations, it is a surprising delight that they still take the time and care to provide good service to individual buyers via telephone.

My wallet is so glad I'm in Hong Kong. Otherwise I would be all over the G&Gs....

For the Detriot last,

Do you guys generally size down half size or one full-size from the Barrie?

I feel like I can probably do a full-size but it can be rather tight. I'm definitely half-sized down from the Rain and I take the same in the Simpson.

So...

Barrie - 8.5D
Rain - 8UK
Simpson - 8.5UK
Detriot - 8UK can "probably" squeeze into 7.5UK.

Thoughts?

Guys I am very sorry if this has been discussed before I did try to search but I am looking at pair carmina I saw for sell at epaulet and not sure how there calf skin compares to alden, crocket and jones, and vass. These would be the calf skin shoes that I currently own.

personal opinion but Carmina calf at least equals Alden and C&J and might be a step below what I have from vass but not by much

For Calf:

Excluding Vass, I would pick Carmina.
