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

Hey SF pals,
I want to see how a jumper boot looks like on Amaretto shell. For the life of me, i cannot find an example from the previous Amaretto GMTO for jumpers.

@Carmina or any of the folks that jumped on the previous Amaretto GMTO, do you have a couple of boot pictures (any boot) that you can share?

It would be highly appreciated.

When my Amaretto MTO comes I'll share

But the group will be before then I'm sure haha.

Man oh man, no one and I do mean no one, does shell like Carmina. They are a perfect blend of price and finish, their work is simply sublime; holy crap those are gorgeous.

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

Would you all keep a shoe with this stain on it or ask for a remake? Light brushing hasn't changed it much

If I’d paid full price, I’d either want a discount or a new pair. I’d be more inclined to the former.

I did indeed pay full price @zag73. Thanks for your input. I know it's speculation but do you think it'll come off if I bring it to a competent cobbler? I don't want to make carmina remake the whole pair. It's taxing on them and I like them as a company. I don't want to go demanding stuff and be "that guy" cause they've already remade a pair of oxfords for me in the past.

You could try the Saphir suede rubber. Saphir also do a suede liquid clean. I’ve used the liquid clean and had great results. Is the mark on the inside or outside? If inside, i guess it’s less of an issue. Either way, your trousers will cover the mark.

@Carmina Does Amaretto Cordovan GMTO can be multiple makeups? or one single makeup with group of 14-15 ?

It is my understanding that you can select the makeup(s) you want, as long as it is Amaretto shell.

There is extra cost if you want to modify one of the standard patterns available on the 'Customize' section when designing your shoe.
For instance, wanting the wingtip boot pattern but with captoe, instead of wingtip, will set you back an extra £100.

Do let us know your order number, we can have the suede restored for you if you would not like to have them remanufactured.

Exactly right, @jamesnyc the only common factor for the make would be amaretto cordovan. Each user can select their preferred model.
