The Quintessential Dress Shoe: Black Cap Toe Oxford
I'm trying to decide between the TLB artista picasso and goya last. Any tips on chiseled toe vs round? Is chiseled toe going out of style any time soon?- Goosey

Thanks. I missed the part that you can order the G width option. I'm trying to decide between the Goya and Picasso last for a black captoe. The wife likes the Picasso last better but I suppose the Goya is more classic and formal? Can you compare the city rubber sole to something like the...- Goosey

Is there a difference between the Goya and Picasso last in terms of width in the toe area? Separate question is how does the fit compare to Carmina Rain in terms of toe width and instep? Earlier a poster said that TLB gives a bit more room in the toes but not overall foot. Looking at the...- Goosey

Thanks for all the responses. My issue with 65 8E is that it pinches the sides. So if the footbed will have the same room that suggests that it will pinch the same way? Ideally I can get EE on the Hopkinson last but they don't make it. I think I may have tried EEE size in a different last. I am...- Goosey

Question about the 65 last vs 201. I have a 8E on the 65 last and it pinches my pinky toes a bit. Otherwise the fit is pretty comfortable. 8.5 causes heal slip. I was thinking that if I order another shoe in the 65 last it would be in 8EE size. The 201 last shoe doesn't have EE sizing...- Goosey

Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.
Thanks. I was really worried that my toes would pinch that's why I went with the Inca in the first place. I think width wise, the Inca is actually very slightly wider than the Rain? Unfortunately, I don't think there is a store that carries Carmina near me. I am thinking Rain EEE would be a...- Goosey

Roomier dress shoes to fit orthotics?
For those who wear orthotics, do you wear roomier dress shoes (higher instep + wider width) to fit orthotics or do you simply forgo orthotics altogether?- Goosey

Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.
I bought a pair of shoes in Inca last and I am worried that I might have made the wrong decision. An E in AE 65 last pinches my pinky toe a bit so I was worried about the Rain last being every so slightly less wide and having a more aggressive taper. So I ordered the Inca last. The heal fits...- Goosey

Is the new coffee color similar to the old brown color? I have a pair of fifth avenues in brown and I was wondering if the coffee color would be too similar.- Goosey

I wear 8EE in AE's 65 last. The 8E in the 65 last just pinches my toes a bit. I normally never wear size 8 shoes. It's usually size 8.5 or size 9 sneakers depending on brand. What size/last should I be looking at?- Goosey

Ya AE site's currency conversion is a rip off. Nordstrom's exchange rate is much closer to true exchange rate and so the CDN pricing is much less than the AE site's converted figure. But AE's site has a lot more options and availability.- Goosey

Unfortunately. I'm not close to one. The nearest is close to a 3 hour drive. But it be worth the (overnight) trip if I can pop in and exchange for a different pair. Is one able to do that or is online completely separate? Thanks. I'm not sure what I would do. It is on the inside so not too...- Goosey

Thanks. I have noticed those AE QC threads and when I called to ask about sizing, I got the ridiculous recommendation to check online reviews (i.e. the voting chart they have about whether the shoes fit true to size etc.). I literally had to note that she was working for AE. Previously, AE...- Goosey

I just took possession of a Fifth Avenue in Oxblood and noticed some black markings near the welt. The one in photo is most noticeable. These are firsts. Is this normal? Can they be buffed off? AE now ships with new boxes and doesn’t ship with shoe bags now?- Goosey

I bought a pair of long branch boots and I noticed a creasing/wrinkle problem that some have experienced. As well the welt? is sticking out. I emailed Allen Edmonds, didn't get a reply, so I called them up and the customer service lady told me that most likely the Quality Control people will...- Goosey

So I'm seriously thinking of ponying up for a Dalton shell rather than the regular Dalton. Now I want to wear the boot regularly, am I better off putting a topy on it or just recraft when the sole wears out? Not sure if it's possible to have Allen Edmonds put their combination tap on a Shell...- Goosey

Hi. New to the forum. I'm looking for a versatile boot that can withstand west coast weather (i.e. rain). I will mostly wear them with jeans, but it would be a plus if I can wear it with dress pants and even a suit. I've been looking at the Long Branch, Dalton, or even the Cordovan. I like...- Goosey
