Nice shoes and great vid, really enjoyed it

I had a good time watching your video too and I am not into this kind of things.

Hey guys, any experience or cool pics with the 80179 natural shell jumpers and the Soller last? I'm about a 10.5E in Brannock Sizes and I have no experience with Carmina, but I am interested in that model. I'm mostly curious about how much width there is at the toes. Thanks.

Guys, if you were going to buy a pair of black shoes, your only pair of black shoes — let's leave the discussion of good/bad black shoes aside — which last would select, Rain, Forest, which other?

Forest, round toes for sure

ummm, the last that works best for YOU is the only answer here. If it was a shoe style I would understand but a last? And since Carmina makes some of their models in various lasts you have your pick. ie the DM come in Rain, Inca, Simpson off the top of my head not to mention MTO.

BUT if you want a last answer, I love my OSCAR lasted boots over my RAINs

Thanks! Well, let's assume it's an oxford, designs a captoe or swan neck. My feet is quite normal for Carmina lasts, I have Rain, Inca and Uetam and the three fit me well. So, last-wise I think there should not be a lot of problem.

PSA

Not sure if you guys have noticed but there is a lot of new stock in the Carmina Outlet various sizes.

Calf, several shell, and other. A beautiful shell rubi monk strap in UK9 my size but on Inca that does not fit me well. Several croc, and a croc/calf mix quite reasonable. Looks like they are going fast a few things I seen are already gone.

I picked up these, yup a little on the edge, will be my only Lizard and only monk strap, and I believe that green is underutilized. I am hoping to pair them with a nice pair of blue jeans.

@Carmina. Is it possible to order a customized side zip as in last year’s r/gyw GMTO?

 

[007Bond]
