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

How does one go about getting the secret menu leathers ordered? Just email?

I've been told to type it in the special request box and they'll send you an email to confirm. Apparently, Carmina is keen on whatever is written in the box.

Asking for a second opinion, would a double leather storm welt be too much on the frankenstitch (80223) boot?

I’m contemplating if I should forgo the storm welt.

Hi everyone, I am new to style forum. I'm interested in ordering the custom Calway's and was looking for last recommendations. I do prefer sleeker lasts and I have a pair of Simpson Chelsea Boots in a 8.5 but I'm not sure if the Simpson last is appropriate for the Calway. I would also love any suede recommendations to pair with burgundy calf museum.

I think both Simpson and Oscar work well for Calways:

Do you mean double leather sole sans storm welt (flat welt)? I went for that option on mine. So I’m in the yes it’s ok camp! ?

Got an order in for the Custom Weekend, finally popped my “Carmina Cherry”. Hopefully it turns out nice.

nothing crazy, but this combination should be fine.

Seems like today was my lucky day. Finally got my order from the past Oct MTO event, patience is key!

What last are those boots? they seem like soller or sineu? They look amazing

Thanks! They are on the Sineu last, which I'm a big fan of now. I didn't want to do Inca since it seemed too pointy, so Sineu was a nice middle ground. Fits extremely similar to Rain, but I would say Rain has slightly more room in the toe box.

Funnily enough I ordered the same make up in the same last yesterday. I asked for a pitched heel and black leather soles though. Will post photos in a month when they arrive

Nice makeups. Armagnac Calway will be a stunner. I was tempted by another Calway but went for a model not only the list. Was tempted by a cxl boot of some sort but resisted. Luckily the promo ended before my resolve!

It was definitely cool the way you could order “off menu”.

thank you. I hesitated a lot too. cxl should be a good choice for the next custom weekend.
