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

    I was looking at the suede MTO event and I thought it was a shame that they couldn't offer any of the MTO styles in Detroit EEE or even just allow the option for Rain in EEE since they do have Rain styles. This pretty much reduces my windows of opportunity to the 2 custom events each year since...

    Is there a good reason why pre-orders aren't available below a size 7? Seeing all the deals is making my 6 EE feet jealous.

    Just pulled the trigger on an MTO Broadview button boots. It's unfortunate for me that anything smaller than a size 7 in men's has to be MTO as it's not a stock size.

    This weekend event caught me by surprise but I thought about it and figured it was either now or wait until the winter event since I probably won't need a new pair of boots in the summer.

    I took the plunge on this weekend's MTO event with another pair of 80450 balmoral boots but this time in black cordovan. Weird how they describe this event as only applying to new models added to the tool since I seem to recall the 80450 was there last time but maybe my memory is just wrong.

    Wow. Those bal cap toe boots are really nice. What last are they? I wish Carmina would offer something like that as a standard model. I was thinking of doing a pair in black but struggle with normal leather or shell. The rolls in shell would make them less formal and I would be able to polish...

    Wow. Those are amazing. What model are they? Every moccasin model I look at seems to be split toe.

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

    I was seriously thinking about it since I love long wing bluchers and I love boots. When I had it in the 3D tool during the weekend custom deal I was thinking to myself... that's really weird looking. I guess it's just because I've never seen one before so my brain just couldn't handle it so I...

    Got my order in. Can always use another pair of shell balmoral boots. I see they've extended the MTO event by 24 hours.

    Doh! I'm going to blame my poor aging eyesight for that. Also I was expecting to see something orange to match the stock model. Thanks for pointing that out to me. :D

    @Carmina Any chance that the Dress Boots 80483 Soller model will be added to the customization tool in the future? The long wing boot is such a unique look and I'm a huge fan of long wing shoes.

    I love Rain EEE. Toes are a bit pointy, but lots of room for the instep and wide through the rest of the shoe. I have the Detroit in EE but it's still a bit narrow for me so I'm going to try EEE this custom event.

    For some reason I couldn't figure out how to add toe plates using the custom tool. Edit: Oh duh. I answered my own question. It's an option once you've added the design to your basket.

    My second pair of customs ordered in December arrived today. Rain EEE double monk strap in navy shell with JR soles and toe plates.

    At least take a picture of yourself tying your Carmina shoelaces while flashing your wrist shot to keep it on topic.
