I have a pair of these, but with Natural Storm Welt, from the GYW GMTO last year. Olive is my favorite color. I know you were specifically inquiring about interest for the wingtip, but I'd be interested if it was a plain toe or cap toe like this:

Boot or derby/blucher would be okay with me.

I bought a side of Olive Waxed Flesh from Horween recently, will have White's boots make a pair or two out of it someday.


I have successfully resisted buying any boots the last month and a half, but those boots are seriously testing my resolve. Yowsa!!!

Little bit on sizing pls help:

I'm a UK 8 in Rain. Should I take the same or size down 0.5 for Forest?

P.s. Simpson doesn't work on me - 8 is too narrow and 8.5 is too long.

Thanks in advance gents!

I'd to go up 0.5 from rain to forest to accommodate for the lower instep. Did not achieve an ideal but decent fit.

Did Carmina recently change their shoe trees? The right one is the one I got recently and it has slightly different dimensions and is unfinished cedar.

Does anyone here have any exp buying Carmina for their wife as in the sizing. She is a US 7 so I figured one down just like men's but that does not seem to match some online sites or Carmina. Carmina says woman's US 7 I should order woman's UK 4.5 that seems kinda to small I think.

Anyone can help?

No idea about US women sizing but I got some exp. My GF is UK6 in many makers (Trickers, GG, Cheaney, Clarks). We followed the Carmina chart which tells us UK6 is Carmina Women 5.5 and then ordered a 5.5 jumper boots which turned out to be too small (6 would be fine) and we had to return it. I also find some Carmina women lasts are quite narrow so I would say the sizing is similar to UK womens sizing.
