Finally. My summer shoes are here. Special thanks to Richard who helped me getting exactly what I want.

The 7.5 craze is even crazier now with more unique combos!

I guess someone important at Carmina is a size 7.5 because the outlet is overflowing with all kinds of combos. I don't think I have ever seen so many options in a single size available.

Vinsep, I love that you went to Bryant Park to showcase your shoes. Hands down, it's the commitment post of the month.

It's quite strange. Could it be that they do mockups in 7.5, yielding the surplus?

The Carmina website is giving me all sorts of trouble when i try to filter. Is anyone else able to successfully filter for sizes on the outlet section of the site?

It never works for me I always have to open every shoe.

Nope. Pretty annoying. Luckily, carmina is awesome so I put up with the shoddy outlet section of the website .

7.5 is Carmina's size for samples.

Interesting.... Well I think they should take note that using size 9 for samples will yield the best possible examples as well as photograph the best.

Hey guys,

I come to share a story that happened to me. About 6 months ago a puppy came home and I decided to put Carmina. A few weeks ago, she decided that it would be a good idea to bite one of my shoes.

I want more pics of the damaged shoe!! What a *****! (I don’t think English is you’re native language but it also means a female dog...). Great story, and great outcome - thanks for sharing!

Bryant park is fairly close to their store and I was on my way to my home.

Carmina really shines in the loafers department. I think its one of their strenghts. They offer one of the best designs and fits in rtw.

Does anyone have a top down photo of a Carmina loafer on the Pina last please? Is this last as rounded as say the Van from Alden?

Yup. My office is also fairly close by. Still dedication as it was properly hot yesterday.

Has anyone ever exchanged a pair from a retailer to a Carmina store for the right size? I just emailed them and waiting to hear back.

What was the update how did you make out?

I would like to know example if I buy from Skoaktiebolaget and it does not fit can I exchange at NYC this would be good info to know.
