Why do all the dark-brown shoes look light brown on the site? Are they that light?

Suede and calf combo is hard to pull off
Wingtip chelsea is tough to pull off as well
Chiseled toe ......
Suede, calf, wingtip, Chelsea boot on an aggressively shaped last has too much going on.
Perhaps a solid calf wingtip boot on a slighly less square toe may be a more attractive option

I'm not a big fan of it either, but you have to remember that unless you're wearing it with shorts, the boot is covered from the ankle up.

They are not. This is more true to their color.

What is the shipping and VAT?

 

[david123]

If you create an account and set your country to wherever you live, I think the site will automatically adjust prices to show you the price after VAT reduction. For me, it was a reduction of about 15%. Shipping was 40euros for 1 pair, 50 I believe for two. That too you can see if you have an account and add items to your cart.

I stopped in to the Nettleton Shop off of Pittsburgh's Market Square this week and the owner, Scott, mentioned that he will carry Carmina this fall. Expecting delivery of severl different models in October. Mostly Forest last, as I recall, but also a cognac cordovan longwing on the Detroit. That sounds pretty nice, though I have no idea how it would fit. Give him a call, perhaps. He was a pleasure to talk with.

As a Carmina reseller, you can spec pretty much anything you like. Depends on the person placing the order really.

Wingtip Oxford on Forest last in Burgundy Cordovan
High Lace up Balmoral boot on Robert last in Cognac Cordovan
