    532 longwing from recent MTO event in Detroit last Color 4 Shell. Copper eyelets. Hard to capture in the fading sunlight. And the TRIPLE sole. No major QC. Very happy.

    Yes. I submitted my order around June 23. Certainly the fastest I’ve ever had one turned around.

    I greatly appreciate that. I wish I had the $$ to get a brolive boot now. ? remind me of the process... is it a straight olive dye or an overdye? I can’t remember and search is not helping me.

    That’ll buff right out... ? All kidding aside — looks like something smashed them at some point and they sat for a week. Was the box damaged? I truly hope Carmina makes this right.

    Yes it is. 11UK Rain EEE. They’re parked on a shelf in my closet. Gotta clean things out. I’ve been holding onto them for no good reason other than inertia.

    I have a black vitello wholecut chelsea with natural edge Rain EEE in 11 that you might want to consider. I ordered it before I knew my true size. ??‍♂️ Definitely with more volume. DM me if interested. But the recommendations here are solid. Soller in 11.5 would probably work.

    I don’t see how one would be able to do a complete whole cut on any larger sizes. This is what mine look like.

    They did a brief special SF promo for shell Chelseas (Shelseas?) last year. I don’t recall many taking them up on the offer, though I did score one in the outlet. I suppose if you begged and pleaded and have a relatively smaller size they might make an exception. Worth trying anyway.

    Make sure and ask for Commando sole (itshide, not the traumatana) and that would be bad ass. ?
