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

I have decided against selling my boots after I tried them on today with an insole and thicker socks!

I have seen loden suede in person and it is gorgeous - looking forward to seeing it in a wholecut.

I'll add my voice of praise on the snuff suede boots - what last are they on, unipair guy?

Both chukkas and boots are on the Rain last.

A few recent Carmina MTOs:

We do mark the full value but we use EMS for shipping, never Fedex or DHL. With EMS you should avoid paying duties and taxes. Anyone who has ordered from us can report in on this but we haven't had customers complain about paying duties or taxes. I hope this helps and if you have any questions please let me know.

I have never had a problem with Unipair shoes in the USA. Never paid any taxes.

Yeah I noticed that. I was hoping to find additional offerings on that last, but I guess it's MTO only for now.

Edit-Namor, the shaft is lined but it is so soft it seems unlined.

I always wondered how they do this. Once I tried AS Cambridge boots and the shaft was so soft despite being lined. On the other hand the shaft on my Avebury boots from C&J is not so soft. I prefer soft shaft.

The website is fixed; shipping is officially free.

I wonder what the stockists think about this promo; it can undercut them quite a bit (by $300 in some cases).

Just a quick heads up, I am in Lisbon, Portugal now and the local El Corte Ingles has a small selection of Carmina shoes (strangely they are not listed on the Carmina website as a stockist). The prices are the same as in the online shop, around 310-325 EUR for calf shoes. (No pictures, sorry)

I've been there month ago, and the choice was poooor!
