Nice shoes! How would you compare the leather and construction quality between these 2 brands?
Size wise, I didn't quite understand the table on the width and assume it is 2x width measurement? I took my usual UK size and it worked out for length maybe slightly long. Mine was a G width Balmoral boot. It fits wider than Carmina Rain in toe area but I have wide feet.. Maybe even wider than Detroit last. Can't comment on normal F width.
what do you wear in other brands/lasts? I measured my feet as it said and my measurements are way off the chart. 255mm width (by using their method) and 265 in length. I am a 3E in Us sizing so I get the width issue, but the shortest length is 270 and that's a UK 6.Disclaimer - I have only worn my Yanko Balmoral boots once.
Suede quality wise, Carmina's suede feels nicer and Yanko's one feels a bit rougher but it is not poor quality suede. Leather wise seems similar but maybe Carmina might be a little thicker but too early to tell on how it ages. Construction is good and don't see any major flaws. Overall, I would say pretty good value and quality for the price.

OK, thanks!vriche
I am not an expert. So I just tell that Carmin's leather have smaller pores and I do not see any flaws in construction both shoes.
