Thanks! You nailed it- that indeed is the combo and last!

Just a lucky guess.....I definitely haven't played around with 4000 Calway variations on the custom tool.....

Oh very interesting, if so I'm surprised they didn't reach out. Good chance I would have taken em anyway if the defect/misconfig wasn't crazy bad.

Anyway, whoever may have picked them up clearly has great taste and may or may not be graced by my name inside their boots.

Ended up having to cancel and refund my order. Not sure what all actually happened throughout the process, but they said they would not be able to fill it in the foreseeable future.

On to the next thing I guess.

Hi all,

I'm chilling in San Francisco for a week. Was walking back to my hotel when I just happened to pass Carmina. Of course I made a detour and stopped in a few minutes. Albert was a great help. I believe he stated that he's the visual coordinator for the shop (which has been open only 2.5 months). Seems they offer a little care center for Carmina owners and Albert even demonstrated the technique for using a deer bone on Shell. Either way..nice visit and I'd recommend anyone visiting San Francisco pay a visit to the shop.

I have a pair of Carmina Chelsea Boots (80216 Rain) where the elastic gussets on the side have stretched too much, so the boots are too loose now. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Yes, as a cobbler/Shoemaker can replace thema against new ones that a tighter, stretch less. As I overpronate that happens on my inward side stretches of my chelsea boots.

Has anyone of you experience with the balmoral boots of Carmina, as their MTO boot week is ongoing? I am lookig forward to the U-Cap balmoral boot with a rubber sole for the autumn and winter.

Enjoy your sunday and best regards

I just bought these 80492 Boots on the Llubi last at a discounted price. Hopefully they will fit well (I sized down by half a size).

Does anyone have experience of the Rain last in eee? Trying to work out if it’ll be wide enough for me. Is it as wide as UK G? Thanks.
