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

[New Shoes1]

Anyone have any experience returning shoes to Betty? She sent me the wrong pair and has not yet responded to my e-mail. Curious if Carmina will credit me for the return shipping costs.

I, too, got sent the wrong shoes. She gave me instructions on how to return them via Fedex using Carmina's account. My only cost was my time and frustration.

 

[New Shoes1]

Thanks.

Saddle would be my preference as I have a lot of brown shell (especially boots)

Very nice. I thought Carmina stopped making shell Jodhpurs due to cracking of the shell during the lasting process. Are they making them again or is this one of the last of the bunch?

I might be interested in another round of Navy shell Jodhpurs. Anyone else?

Got my Jodhpur boots today, beautiful boots all around and single Dainite is perfect. Not too sure about fit though, think I should have sized half down :
