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

They custom dye natural horween shell. I have no idea what Carmina's policy is regarding Brolive availability. Sometimes it seems to be only available for a larger GMTO or not available at all. I asked and they agreed to produce a single pair. I didn't realize that they had dyed some extra shells. From the pic of the stack of shells it looks like there might be 6-8 more shells (?) so probably enough only for a few pairs.

My pair should be here any day now from what I am told. The color in the pic above looks a bit odd to me but I have very little faith in their leather photos since I have seen some really strange looking ones that look nothing like they do in real life.

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.

Their CS said "we hand painted and we only offer it exclusively for the time being "

JR soles and toe plates. Were they from their eBay store or outlet? Or did you go to a different retailer? Assuming you didn’t MTO since you were just asking about chelseas within the last couple weeks so that’s not enough time for MTO?

Anyone have a link to their eBay store, I looked but couldn’t find it.

So this 10% site wide- do we know if it applies to MTOs?

Is a European holiday weekend too..
I wasn’t fussed as eagerly await an mto from a month or so ago.

Well, I suppose you don't have to be a Christian to celebrate Christmas

Is anyone able to compare Oscar to the Zonkey Boot Classic last? Oscar fits me well but I wouldn’t want much more volume.

No experience with the Classic last but I did have a pair on the Sailor last and I'd say to take the same size as your Oscar size. I think Classic & Sailor size similarly but again never tried. I vaguely recall that @stephenaf2003 had a pair or so of Zonkey so he might be able to help more than I can.

Unfortunately I don't own anything Oscar lasted, but I wouldn't say the classic last is voluminous by any means. Do you own Sailor last? If so, it has less volume than that last

Thanks guys. It would be my first foray into ZB. Sineu fits me really well in the same size as Oscar too. Appreciate the help.
