still waiting...Anyone also not gotten Black Weekend purchase shipped ? I ordered 24.11 and after a chat on 29.11 they said they where sorry for the delay and it would be shipped at latest 30.11. But it´s still not shipped. This is the first time I order from Carmina website. Hope this is not the usual service.

I just received my first pair of shoes made on the Ueatam last. It's a beautiful pair of polo suede tassel loafers. I sized down by 0.5 from my Rain size and took the same as in Simpson.
While the loafers are quite snug in the front, there's a bit of a gap appearing at the side of my arches when I walk.
The heel feels good. I don't expierence any heel slip when I walk but I can easily slide out of it.
Here's my question: Should the heel feel tight at the beginning? How much does it loosen on suede Uetam loafers? I have experieced the heel widening on suede loafers from other makers quite a bit during the breakin period and after and I'm worried that I could get quite a bit of heel slip later on.
What's your take on this?
Thanks for your input!In my experience, Uetam is narrow in the toes but otherwise normal fitting; Uetam doesn’t work for me due to the toes. I take 10E in Carmina but would go down to 9.5 for loafers (Robert loafers in this size for me well). Based on your description, the size you are using may be a bit too long.

Thanks for your input!
The loafers are definitely not too long - the toe box feels very snug so that I could not size down and I'm just a tad short of touching the front with my big toe.
Very nice. I agree, the Rain last is a near flawless looking last.Took me forever to take a chance on the Rain last. (UK 7 for reference)
Carmina’s images definitely do not showcase how shaped and lovely the last is in person.
Also pleasantly surprised with the Tomir soles.
