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

[Carmina]

what's a non-eee last that can be wider than detroit eee or forest eee?

Currently detroit last it's wider than any EEE because we added one size more

 

[Carmina]

@Carmina could you share what skin was used for these?

It's peccary, from my point of view one of the most confortable leathers.
We have never had any information that the peccary shoes had problems with water, after reading the comment we have tested it in the factory and we can corroborate that it is just as water resistant as other leathers.

Pretty pleasing last for a wingtip IMO. Not one of Carmina's "sleekest" lasts but I was going for something a bit more robust

Sizing help please-

What size difference have you guys noticed between the forest and Oscar last?

Thank you

Thank you

I Brannock at US8D. In carminas euro sizing I do 7.5 on Oscar. I *could* do 7 if I were willing to have a rather rough break in period. I’m a 7.5EEE on forest. The low forest instep is a nightmare for me.

Thank you for your response!

So for you Oscar is much more wide than normal width forest, good to know.
