102390 in UK 7. Beautiful shoes.

I wear a 6.5 in Ama last, and sizing up to 7 for New Rey was correct. The last is quite narrow. The last toe of my right foot was rubbing against the insole. I expect the leather to soften after a few wears though, so it should be fine.


Are you a us 7.5? Consensus seams to size down 1/2 size for new Rey but they were too big for me. :/ I needed to go down one full size.

Is the olfe last similar to AMA? Both size down 1 one from US?

Meermin's advice is to size down 1 from the U.S. size for the Olfe last.

Here are a few pics of my Navy Blue Double Monks. They look purplish in the first two pics but they are more of a dark blue which can be seen in the last pic. The first two pics were taken inside with a flash on and the last pic was taken with no flash. In the sunlight they almost look royal blue but indoors they dark. I like them and the fit is great.

I'm not too sure of my US size. I wear a UK6.5 in most C&Js and a 6.5 in Meermin's Ama last. For shoes like Ferragamos, I'm a US8.

Talking about new lasts, does anyone have details about the "DUB" last?

Synchronicity! Mine arrived today in UK 10.5. Sandro advised me to size up from 10 in the Ama last to 10.5 in the New Rey. I have yet to try them on because I want to take some pictures in natural light to post before I wear them and scuff them.

I was going to give them their debut tomorrow night, when I go for dinner and drinks with my language partner. However, I'll wear my single monks instead to allow me to take pictures without any scuffing.

Not quite sure what to think when you place taking a picture of new shoes for guys on the internet above making a good impression on a woman.

Gentlemen,

Does anyone have some pictures of their store in Mallorca? I am working with them now looking into the possibility of opening a store in NYC, and I would love to get a feel for it. I may be doing mock ups for them of sorts. I know they have the wall of shoe lasts, but anything else you may have would be great. Thanks.

PS would love to see what I can only assume will be a lot of excitement about the store to get them amped up for it. Thanks in advance fellas

Thanks for the comments about the Blue Suede Double Monks. This was a stock shoe for Meermin and I simply sent an email asking if they had it in stock in my size. They were of the cheaper line. With shipping and shoe trees I think I spent around $250 but don't hold me to that as it's been a few weeks. Shipping was fast and I received the shoes within 14 days of payment. They are on the Hiro last and I sized done a whole size from my US size (i.e. 9.5US to 8.5UK). Happy with them so far. I'm looking to maybe do an MTO with them soon. Check on the Carmina Shoe Appreciation Thread to see what else I just got in the mail...
