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

Thanks do you happen to know if it was limited to what you seen as in what sizes were available.

It looked like they were pretty stocked, they have at least a dozen different pairs in cordovan, I am pretty sure you would be able to score a pair, at least.
Give them a call before 7pm, the store was not too busy.

oh man. how long i this sale happening (I know the 10% promo ends today, right).

I don't suppose any of those are in EEE width...

I believe that the 10% promo ends today. That unless they decide to extend it, which has happened in past, including during the 80K Instagram promo.

Usually the store does not carry EEE widths, but it wouldn't hurt to give them a call to find out.

In store only?

Umm, I forgot to ask, sorry.

Does anyone have any opinions on the robert last vs forest last when it comes to balmoral boots? I'm looking to pick up a full leather balmoral boot in both black and dark brown, but I'm just not sure about the last.

I have a jodhpur boot in forest and it fits great and everything, but I heard the robert last was a more "formal" looking last which is suitable for a balmoral boot.

I would have to wait until there is a promo that waives the MTO fee if I do the robert last however.. if I went forest, at the very least I could jump on the promo going on right now and buy the forest lasted black balmoral on the site

I called the store they seemed busy, the sales guy said they sent out an email about the sale but I never got it.

Does anyone have the list of shoes from the email that they can post, this is the in NYC store only shoes on 25%.

Just pulled the trigger on the burgundy shell penny loafers in the outlet. I have been itching for a loafer, burgundy one of if not the best color, shell, hard to pass up. They are on the Pina last that I have never tried but says reg fit so if it's like Carmina's other last I should be fine.

Seems the outlet has had a bit of a restock I see a lot of new items if any one is looking.

Did you got your loafer? I been looking at it but not sure size wise Loafers I'm 9d AE and 7e or 7.5e JF

Yes they showed up today.

Thankfully perfect fit really spot on for a slip on, good fit toe area, perfect width, heel cup good grip not to tight, finally the instep just nice a tiny ever so tiny snug fit just like you want a slip on to be when new. I can see these becoming my go to shoe easy on out the door.

So in AE I am exact 10D and the Carmina 9E fits dead on so if you are 9D in AE the Carmina 8E should be the way to go.

Well that was fast they showed up today. I see if I had just waited a few days I would have saved $50 with the sale for 100K.

Anyways @oskrusa back to the shell loafers you asked about the fit with my high instep. Thankfully perfect fit really spot on for a slip on, good fit toe area, perfect width, heel cup good grip not to tight, finally the instep just nice a tiny ever so tiny snug fit just like you want a slip on to be when new. I can see these becoming my go to shoe easy on out the door.

There's no 8 or 7 so I'm out of shell. The Pina last shows only available in EE widths, yours is E? The Uetam last definitely more my style than Pina last. They do have a suede Pina for not too much money, may get that one to experiment.

The NYC store has nice burgundy shell tassel loafers and shell penny loafer in bourbon, they say they have many sizes available Also these are all on sale 25% off plus the 10% off too so nice deal. Oh and they have at least 12 other shell shoes and probably 25 calf included in the sale too.

So you may just get what you want in your size.

Def NOT black/burgundy or black/brown

I guess i'd go with #1 if I had to choose, but I don't think any of them will turn out well.

I hear you, was not convinced but wanted to check with few people. Will go with one color only.
Thanks

How marsupialed does a wholecut shell slipper with double sole stormwelt sound?

 

[dave_rawitat]

@IHaveNoNiceClothes @eremita Thanks so much for replying! I did chat with the Carmina representative on their .com website the other day and got information that the Audrey is regular fit, so it should fit without sizing up or down.

I'll vote for Robert:
