Agree here that the snuff may not work as well in the winter, but that is region/climate specific.
If it is sleeker it may be tougher to wear in a casual situation, but yes, if you are going to pay retail and color aside, I would go with the Carminas.
Based on the pictures the Carmina look sleeker but a possibly "dressier". The lighter color I would say doesn't work as well in the winter (depending on where you live). The darker AE's are likely more versatile year round.
That being said, the Carminas are gorgeous.ย

Agreed, and the difference in cost is only $50, absent a sale.ย For me, it comes down to which color I want.
This shoe is on the Forest last, which I find to be very similar to AE's 5 last.ย The Forest last is slightly sleeker than the 5 last, but I'm not really focused on that point for a suede shoe.
