    I complete agree. I have a Rain and Detroit in the same size and the uppers measure to the same length, but the last tool shows the Detroit being significantly shorter.

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

    I have now purchased 4 pairs of Carmina shoes through their MTO program in various sizes and lasts and was wondering: Do any of you have experience in getting Carmina to make specific size adjustments? I am finding out my ideal size is probably UK7.75 EEE. For example, if I need extra room in...

    I would be great if they offered Sineu in EEE width! Even if only for MTO.

    I missed this the first time I watched the Carmina video with Kirby Allison. I re-watched today and I am now confused. The Carmina manager talks about more volume with the Cordovan shoes (not stretched as tight on the last) but then appears to bring Kirby a larger size to try on, to which KA...

    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    Fit suggestions needed! Over the last couple of years I have adjusted my fit and overall very happy with my purchases. However, I still am getting lines around the armpits despite moving to “sloping shoulders”. Should I adjust to ”very sloping shoulders” on my next order? Any other suggestions...

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

    Well, it is definitely shorter with a similar width. For me, the heel feels more snug and the collar extends slightly higher (which I like). Overall feels like a slightly lower volume, but that is subjective. Forest is less modern than the Rain, but more modern than AE65. I have a high...

    Just received my order from the MTO weekend. Semi-brogues on Forest EEE in black shell with Dainite soles. Very happy. This is my first pair on the Forest last and for me it is a slightly better fit than Rain.

    Thanks for the insight. My only concern is that the RainEEE is just a tad (maybe a 1/4 size) too long, and the instep is perfect. Trying to decide if I should size down 1/2 to the Forest 7.5EEE. These MTO orders always make me a bit nervous.

    Need some advice... I have a pair of Carmina 80201 in museum brown in size 8EEE on the Rain last. If I wanted to purchase a shoe on the Forest last, should I go with the same size (8EEE)? Just wanted some input before a MTO purchase this weekend. Thanks! VM
