Has anyone ever requested a less closely trimmed flat welt on a MTO? ie. to accentuate the fudging and give a more trim last a bit more presence without going to a storm welt (which might be too much...ie. rain last).

Hey Gents. Have anybody here tried on the different Chelsea boot from Carmina? Particularly the 80186 and 80216. Is the Shaft higher on the 80186 or vice versa? Also, how does both Chelsea compare to the wholecut Chelsea in terms of the shaft height ? Thanks!

Those who ordered during the customization weekend (the one with complimentary shoe care kit). What cream do they give?

No idea. Haven’t gotten any of my shoe kits. @Carmina

I have a pair. What do you want to know?

I have a pair. What do you want to know?

Is it actually a sneaker or a dress shoe with a rubber sole?

It has more padding than a normal dress shoe around the tongue, but I would say it's still pretty dress shoe-ish. No one's going to confuse it with a pair of Nikes.

Oscar last, and thanks!

Ordered a pair in brown karagrain and received a dark brown cream polish and a small brush. The cream polish is branded Carmina, but I think it might be Famaco? The listed ingredients are the same and the jar/lid are identical and stack perfectly.

I remember @Carmina did a GMTO of wholecut sidezip for reddit last year, which doesn't have any seams compare to yours.

@Carmina how can we MTO that model?

Bumping this up again. @Carmina
