Hi Gents,
I am in need of some advice. I have been playing around with Carmina's Customizing tool for a pair of work boots.
I settled on:
- Work Boots 80184/80223 (Soller last as I have wide feet)
- Burgundy Cordovan
What I have not settled:
- JR Soles (I want the luxury of leather soles but also durability) or Victoria soles? I live in a humid climate so would like advice on this as well - Are Victoria soles the more practical choice?
- Frankenstitch or traditional stitching? I am leaning towards JR soles and I thought pairing them with the Frankenstitch would be a nice whimsical touch.

Settings I will be wearing them in:
- in the office, in a business casual/ casual setting
- out and about (bars, dinners)
- lots of walking while traveling (Think Tokyo, Seoul, States)
Hi All...they are finally here and wanted to share! After much deliberation both on forum and off, I settled on 80184 Soller workboots in a dark burgundy shell. The storm welting and general silhouette lends both a ruggedness and dressy look. I understand Carmina has had some workmanship issues. I do see some finishing problems at the welt areas but not sure if common or to be expected for a boot like this. Curious on your thoughts! Overall, quite happy with them.
