Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.
Yes, wholecut chelsea boots. I went with the Inca last, snuff suede, and brown elastic. I like the contrast. The tan elastic is too light for snuff imo..- ErPupone4

I'm not sure what is going on with the leather by the toe, but I would ask for a remake. I have shoes that cost half the price of Carmina's with better leather quality. In my experience they are normally better than that.- ErPupone4

I'll take a picture in the next couple days. Personally, I think a suede pair is fine with jeans but calfskin might be tough to pull off.- ErPupone4

They are well made, however these are from 2 - 3 years ago at this point. I actually sent them back due to some small marks/cuts on the suede by the welt, but looking back I was nitpicking. They fixed it, but honestly once I started wearing them, I didn't even notice it. Very happy with them.- ErPupone4

Not at all. I would either take the price difference or the future resole. Having both a pair with Carmina soles and JR soles, the JR soles are definitely better and longer lasting. That's poor on Carmina's part.- ErPupone4

That is true. Take my advice with a grain of salt. Ideally OP can try on in store or order both sizes and return one.- ErPupone4

Rain is also tight on the pinky toe for me. Forest and Inca fit much better. I take a half size up on Rain compared to Forest and Inca. This makes the instep and heel slightly too large. I've come to the conclusion that Rain is just not a good last for me. This might be the case for you as well...- ErPupone4

I think burgundy, or perhaps even the brown elastic, will look better than black. I only have burgundy vegano on an adelaide and brown elastic on snuff suede chelsea boots. Burgundy would probably be the safest bet. I haven't seen the burgundy elastic in person though.- ErPupone4

Hey @Seph, I was wondering if you are going to be launching some new chinos in the coming months? I noticed that a lot of the chinos have been taken off the site recently. I just ordered my first pair a couple months ago and was looking forward to purchasing more. Thanks.- ErPupone4

Sort of. Except everyone wears a mask. Sometimes I come in for an excuse to put on real clothes and wear actual shoes. I've been neglecting my Carminas for the past year.- ErPupone4

I think he has done a couple with TLB, but this is the only one I know of with Carmina. I was one of the lucky ones to receive my order when they finally arrived months later. I wouldn't participate in another GMTO with Kirby. Glad you finally got your boots! You sold me on the leather nearly a...- ErPupone4

Glad you like them! I find that slim jeans can look good with the Inca lasted Chelsea boots, but straight jeans definitely wouldn't. I mainly wear them with tapered chinos or tailored trousers.- ErPupone4
