Is it only me that , when visiting the website, can view all the shoes on the Rain & Forest lasts but the Simpson is hidden below the Rain last icon???

Try using Google Chrome.

Thanks for that works perfectly.

Thank you very much to you both - those responses are very helpful.
So, just to be clear:
Rain -> Inca = same size
Rain/Inca -> Simpson = go up half a size (ie if normally a UK8.5 in the Rain/Inca last, get a UK9 in the Simpson last)

I have not noticed a difference in size between the Rain and Inca lasts, just the shape of the toe box. I was told by the gentlemen at the Armoury to size up from an 8.5UK to a 9UK when moving from the Inca/Rain to Simpson last.

Simspon and Alcudia are narrow lasts. If you're on the edge of D/E I would definitely size up from normal.

You are welcome. It was a pleasant surprise the first time I used Chrome on the Carmina site.

Nice pants. Details? What kind of jacket do you wear those with, or are they part of a suit?

 

[SpooPoker]



Thanks Spoo. That HK $3,800 is not US dollars right? That should come out to about $500, correct?
Also, if I'm a size 9.5 in Allen Edmonds strands what size should I order these in?

Yep, right around that.

8.5

Correct.

After a few months wait, here is my MTO order... It's Spoo's favorite model, but on the Alcudia last, rather than the Simpson last. I just prefer a toe shape that has some roundness to it, without much chisel or squarishness. To view my other Carmina shoes (Robert, Forest, and Alcudia; two brown, one black), here are some pics from a few months back -- http://www.styleforum.net/t/241469/carmina-shoe-p0rn/210#post_5237652. Alcudia, black calf (boxcalf), model 80214:

Bravo, bravo, bullswin.
