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

Isn't Carmina having their usual free MTO campaign soon? They usually have it around this time.

I don't know when that is, but this leather is exclusive to this project. While it may be made available for other projects at a later date, my understanding is that for now, it is excluse to thie project.

 

[LA Guy]

Clear indication they should offer both 😬

That is a decision that would be up to @Carmina , of course

Guys, black hatch grain cordovan it's completly exclusive! We have ordered it only for styleforum because of your interest, it is a very very scarce leather. It will not be available on the customiser or other models.

Can you do EEE width?

When I voted for the NST, I thought I was voting for 80488. Now that I see that it's 80478, I'm out.

I thought the same. Was not 80488 the NST boot original design?

Sadly I am in the same boat. While I’m far from a Carmina expert, the image of the NST I voted for is different from the last one displayed. I don’t know the model numbers but my vote was for the first one. And to be as clear as possible. I am definitely in for the first image (had speed hooks and I think a rubber sole though that’s not important) and definitely out for the recent image.

A misunderstanding. I’m just asking generally if Carmina is going to launch another free MTO campaign soon, as they usually do about twice a year. Doesn’t have anything to do with the grained cordovan leather.

I’ll clarify on the make and model.

I’ll clarify this. I’m pretty sure the the makeup is supposed to correspond to the original image, but things are busy and could easily have gotten lost in translation. Thanks guys.

May be a moot point as it appears as though the Work Boot is in the lead but I appreciate the effort and clarification.

From the original makeup by @Crafty Cumbrian:

But @Carmina will have to confirm.

Is Carmina MTO coming soon？Sadly, my vote lost the battle... But it did give me inspirations for my first pair of Carmina.

The links to the photos don’t appear to be live but it could just be me. I know you are scrambling on this and I don’t want to be a pain but I did come across this SF IG post that had an image of the boot I was intending to vote for (albeit in the black hatch grain shell)…..

This will probably drown in all the MTO talk but I'm kinda bummed that the last comparison tool gives janky results. I was really hoping to get that bit of extra space in the toebox in Uetam EE but in real life it's the opposite.

And my attempt at comparison (monk is rain), I do realize comparing soles is not the best way but they do feel much tighter and I don't believe they will be okay after break-in.

If anyone is interested and knows that Uetam EE 8UK fits them I've listed them for sale before I eat the international shipping cost and send them back.

Not the best fit for my wide feet unfortunately, this is a time limited offer as I'm still within the retailer return window but want to save on shipping costs. Brown full grain soft calf and leather lining Uetam last, almond toe shape EE-width...
