Woah. Where'd you pick those up, Gerry? They're beautiful.
Thanks, Diglett - believe it or not, they're from the Carmina website
Nice looking boot Gerry, Congrats.
I just got these Carmina derby boots in burgundy shell cordovan and I must say they are some of the most beautiful boots I own!

Simple, elegant boots...congrats...wish i had more room in my cabinet for them. I have seen them on carmina's website...soller last, right? Wondering how the sizing is vis-a-vis Rain last.....any impressions?
I read what you wrote on the blog (see below spoiler) and while those are awesome boots i dont think they are "rain" boots. The reason being is that when shell cordovan is rained on it develops a lot of weird spots which is a reaction of the leather. The spots go away after time and shoes are not damaged but i dont think i would buy shell boots for the rain. Just my 2c.I just got these Carmina derby boots in burgundy shell cordovan and I must say they are some of the most beautiful boots I own!

"Ever since I read this article in Die Workwear!, I had been after a pair of rainy day boots similar to the pair made by Crockett and Jones for Peal and Co. for Brooks Brothers, I finally took the plunge with this pair from Carmina in burgundy shell cordovan and I’m really happy with them.
They are one of the most beautiful pairs of shoes that I own and a perfect complement to my Lindrick boots.
The boots are made on the Soller last, a slightly wider boot last from Carmina that suits my feet very well and feature a Victory sole by Dainite which is great for the wetter weather.I’m lucky to have these."
Alden leather defender or saphir spray and just a bit of brushing. Cordovan shouldn't be babied and his boot looks perfect for rain with the sole
