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

I’ve seen mentioned on here that the Barney’s styles are all or almost all on Simpson last, is that correct?

The two models that I purchased are on the Simpson last. However, there were others that did not look like Simpson, but I did not ask/confirm with the SA.

Natural shell frankenstitch derbies came in today. They're absolutely stunning.

Oh ****. That looks like “true” natural. So gorgeous. Love that yellowish pale hue. These will patina super nicely!

I have tried twice to post a for sale link for these. I will post a quick note here because the site isn't letting me post these in the for sale section.

These are brand new Carmina Jumper boots in all black suede with all black hardware. No medallion.

They come with toe plates/taps.

They are lined in red kid leather.

Single black leather sole. very sleek looking.

The size is 9UK EEE. Carmina is known for narrow lasts. The EEE is closer to a USA E. The last is Detroit. So they are a roomy US 10. They are not overly wide at all. If you know Carmina you understand.

They are absolutely gorgeous but they are too long for me by about a full size and I think it is better to sell them even though I am losing money. These are MTO. If you were to order then right now it is $810.00. And a 6-8 week wait.

I will include shipping - Priority - with tracking.

Please email me for questions or to enquire. [email protected]

Sorry I am asking 610 shipped.

Edit: sold. Thank you!

Just posted a review of my Carminas Shell cordovan full brouge boots. Enjoy let me know how to improve if you spot mistakes or if I am rambling too much.

So before I take the grand dip into the Carmina world (coming pretty much from strictly Allen Edmonds for Dress Shoes and Alden for Boots), there's a few custom models I'd like to make. However, with the holidays approaching, I'm curious as to whether or not they plan on having a % off special around Christmas time/leading up to it?

Does the Inca last run longer than the Rain last? Thanks in advance!

In Richmond, BC the Rain lasts a long time!

Sorry, I couldn't resist poking fun from Ottawa. This post has outlines of the lasts, and might help you out.

Lol! That's a good one. In fact it is raining now and will be raining in the next ten days

I would say they're about the same in both length and width. Noticeable differences between the two is that Inca's instep is lower and heel is narrower compared to Rain. There's also a little more toe space on Inca.
