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

Better that it's not a UK9, quite frankly. I have too many shoes as it is.

yes, they do. Just search fur-lined Carmina and you'll find it.

I watched it on RTW and MTO. I thought about making shoes for myself with a fur lining, but they don’t have such a function.

So I got these for an exceptional price with the intention of selling them, as they're half a nominal size too small (7.5UK Rain). However, they arrived and actually fit very well as alligator is a lot more supple than shell and they're long enough as Rain's toebox is pretty generous. And now the dilemma: am I the sort of person who wears chestnut alligator wholecuts?

Ugh. Can't decide. I never throught I'd actually own a pair of aligator shoes. Gator's sooo nice though, buttery soft and smooth yet strong at the same time...

pretty awesome but that pattern matching is so off, would definitely move them along.

Hey, guys. As follow-up to this post, I just received a pic from factory for my (shorter shaft) dress balmoral boot. Looks sweet! Exactly what I wanted. Will send more pictures when in possession.

Something came in the mail today....

I went conservative, but it came out exactly as I wished. Did a comparison shot with her sister boot (Calway). Didn't have time to try on with multiple trousers, but I'm sure you guys can picture it.

Wow. Those bal cap toe boots are really nice. What last are they? I wish Carmina would offer something like that as a standard model. I was thinking of doing a pair in black but struggle with normal leather or shell. The rolls in shell would make them less formal and I would be able to polish regular leather to be super shiny.

Thank you.

Is that wrinkling on the left boot loose grain, a characteristic of cxl, or both?

It’s very loose grain and not typical of good CXL. These were seconds and sold at a very steep discount.

That makes sense. Thank you!
