Before taking Reddit GMTO for Borboun shell, I was planned to get this. Now it proves it's stunning.

That's brown? Looks burgundy on my screen. But stunning for sure.

my screen says burgundy too, regardless they are excellent

Gentleman,
A few weeks ago I asked about how to loosen up my Carmina loafers a bit. I tried the piece of cardboard inserted with the shoetrees and I worked a little. I saw a local shoe repair place and inquired about stretching. Should I do it or keep wearing the shoe little by little? Annoying thing about it, is only on my left foot.

Thank you, gentleman. These are indeed the finest cordovan shoes I own (out of 9 pairs). And they are definitely color 8!

I think I now own the trifecta of Detroit last shell offerings: PTB, LWB, and Chukka.

I have this issue with all loafers. No exception!

The vamp/instep stretchers from shoeshineexpress have worked well for me (http://www.shoeshineexpress.com/stretchers.asp).

I just used the 15% discount code to get a pair of navy suede string loafers in the Uetam last. I also added shoe trees and metal toe taps, and the discount also applies to these! One question - are the toe taps installed by Carmina flush with the sole?

They should be flush

Ha, we are going to Mallorca for holidays as well, my wife actually wanted Greece. But meh, in Palma is a Carmina store so I finally get to try all the lasts

I guess their prices will be the same as the ones on the website but perhaps they have more outlet models there?

If anyone from Singapore is interested to buy a pair of single monk on antiqued brown calf on Simpson last, size UK 9, please PM me. Thanks.


This is how it looks like.
