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

Satisfied my fix for a Navy blue boot, and had expected I'd get a more casual boot in that color. But when I saw these Horween shell navy balmorals in Forest last, with double JR soles, I was sold. I'll get some decent pictures in the coming days, as Navy shell is superb, but my photography, isn't.?
that said, a couple quick snaps in slightly different lighting. Thanks again to George Red for his inspiration for these.
Oh, and a quick kudos to Carmina NYC; these were returns they had on ebay, and are the best new boots I've ever purchased for $450, thats for sure! ?

Thanks my man! Boots, I know a little more about than photography lol. Still learning that. Half the time I just take a few pics and hope for the best ?

Does anyone know if Carmina uses different shoe trees for different lasts? I have a pair that originally were sent with a pair on the Robert last, and I want to use them on my new pair on the Simpson last? Is it all the same?

Hey guys, I am new to Style Forum. Just wanted to stop by and greet my fellow Carmina Shoemaker Enthusiasts.

Was hoping someone can guide me with adding my name to @Carmina Shoemaker’s Color 4, Amaretto, and other exclusive/unique cordovan colors waitlist. I have seen incredible make-ups exclusive to SF, and I refuse to miss out on upcoming styles.

I am a big cordovan enthusiast. Below are a few Carminas from my collection... yes I have a thing for bourbon ?

All the same AFAIK

All the same AFAIK

Really? Those two lasts are really different in the toe length. I think you'd get Robert trees in a Simpson shoe, but not the converse.
