Is cognac shell more like cigar or saddle?
This boot as sleek as Peal Boot or Lindrick?
Thanks

I have sent LEAVES a PM and will get back with info regarding final price, time to produce and sizing on Oscar last as soon as i hear from him.

When you get those details I'll make a decision, take a tentative yes for now?

Yeah you can, that's the beauty of MTO. Any size you want and since the last fits a touch wide, it'll be perfect for you

i just dont understand why do that to a pair of carmina boots trickers makes clunky stuff like that, that contrast sole will work with a "country" look but not a day to day city look, i almost thing the boots are sw&d now and should be worn w/jeans
what does sw&d mean?

street wear & denim as opposed to "mens clothing"

calikid, i think what you did made sense. save time on mto. i wish they had my size in that color.

I also see what he did, but I think the natural welt was a tad much, over say, a light brown or antique type found on Aldens. Something darker would have preserved versatility in the boot, but the boot still serves a good, albeit more casual, purpose.

Regardless, I like it.

MTO's seem to take way tooooooo long, look forward to pics, though.


carmina has one the fastest MTO turnaround of any shoe manufacturer. faster than meermin, G&G, AS, EG, Alden

Not entirely sold on the high boot vs slightly-lower-than-high boot, other than that, I like.

Wonder what it would look like with a 270 welt vs the 360.
