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

Simpson I think. Anyone notice how many of Carmina's lasts have a slightly bulbous toe? The lasts themselves are sleek and tidy with minimal excess spaces but the toe box is disproportionately tall. It even evident in the profile shot of that Jodhpur boot

So when are you opening your Pacific Northwest location? 

+ cali

Just have to convince the missus to relocate across the pond... But I'm thinking Brazil would be a better spot for a subsidiary.

Leaves, will you carry 11uk? Or does the line stop at 10.5uk? Also, is it possible for SFers to colloborate on a makeup and then get some hybrid MTO pricing? If so, how many people would we need?

We only made this Jodhpur in a very limited series, we did not know how it would be received, so regretfully we don't stock this in UK 11.

Six pairs is the minimum to avoid a MTO surcharge. If you can gather up five more people and decide on a model, then we have a go.

Some retailer (or the factory) needs to get a black cap-toe balmoral (oxford) on rain last made.  I think it would look amazing, better than the current black wholecut.

I'm having the 80092 on the Forest last made up for myself in Black Calf and i York sole soon. Let me know if you want in. I'm pretty sure they don't have patterns for an Oxford Balmoral boot on the Rain last.

 I have to say I'm very very excited.  Any black balmorals (boot or shoe) with a york or dainite sole?

No, sorry, no Balmorals in black on York or Dainite at the moment although I'm thinking of doing the 80092 Balmoral boot in black for myself as mentioned above.

[/spoiler]
what last is the jodhpur boot? its not the forest thats on carminas webstore? this looks like it has a chiseled toe

Deia last.

I like that Jodphur, but I would have to see them in real-life. This last with nothing going on the shoe itself like a toecap or brogueing might make it look longer than it actually is.

Anyone have experience with the Detroit last? From what I'm seeing, it should be a wider last, yes? I'm an 8UK on the Rain last (fits snuggly). Any comments on sizing? Thinking of getting the shell long wings.

Or should I just get AE Macneils instead which are on sale now and save myself $150+?

A jodphur shouldnt have any brogueing or toe cap. thats the beauty in a jodphur
