These are stunning! Nice deep green shade.
Thanks!
These are from the first batch they produced for the opening of the first New York store back in 2018.

I haven’t shared these since I’ve been busy, but here they go. This is from the MTO weekend prior to the 3D tool. Took pictures in different lighting. In retrospect, I’ve probably should’ve gone with tonal upper stitching but I still like them and on foot it’s not obvious. There’s definitely some more gaudy-looking boots out there in our bubble of footwear.
loden suede, Oscar last, it’s supposed to be dark gray upper stitching, double JR soles w stormwelt and hard fudging, green lining & light chestnut edges.

Any experience here with some of Carminas textured leathers?
Specifically looking at Chelseas in Lama, Rusticalf, Pereandre, or Elbamat.
I have a pair of chelsea in brown elbamat coming this week. I'll try to post pics and impressions
You know, I visited the TLB factory store last week. As was reputed, the finishing was top-notch and slightly better than Carmina (though I prefer the look of Señor Albaladejo's lasts, as well as that they're more slender). Their value proposition is exceptional materials and finishing for the €400 range. Yet one Artista suede oxford with city sole had the worst heel balance I have seen - the front was about 8mm off the ground with heels flat. I am certain, having seen the level of care and attention to quality, that this would have been caught at QC when the heel was built. It also doesn't make sense that the same heel, on the same last, built the same way, should be unbalanced compared to similar shoes.well, I don't want to jinx it, but the routine post about QC issues has stopped. Quite a few new pairs have been posted with no issues reported. THANK GOD! I hope they've resolved it for good.
Sounds like we placed the same order, haha. Mine won't be due for delivery for a while still though
these look great, now I can't wait to get mine! Beautiful looking leatherI asked for an expedite delivery because I'm moving address soon, but I wasn't expecting them so quickly. Pretty impressed by Carmina's service.
This Chelsea in forest EEE last are just great, very comfy, supple and soft leather, also very light despite the double sole. The outsole is not branded Vibram and feels lighter than my other Vibram shoes.
The soft fudging is a really nice touch that adds interest without being too much IMHO. The stitching is a bit lighter than what appeared on the website but still the difference with the leather is not really noticeable so it's ok.

You in the US or?I am in the process of trying to return some Carmina boots that I bought for my wife.
What an utter PITA this company is to deal with.
Never again.
Lovely pair! What's the size?I asked for an expedite delivery because I'm moving address soon, but I wasn't expecting them so quickly. Pretty impressed by Carmina's service.

Wow you'd think it would be eaiser from there

You'd think people would read all of the terms and conditions before buying online. Sorry they didn't fit your wife but I don't see how that is Carmina's fault. It's pretty clear what they do and do not cover as far as returns are involved. If you don't agree with the T&C no one is forcing you to purchase.It hasn't been great since the start. I just bought the boots, which were offered in GBP and there was little hint that they were not being dispatched from the UK, as so many other manufacturers do. Only when I received all the confirmations in Spanish did I twig.
This raises the question "am I going to get a tax bill for importing these?". 20% plus handling would make expensive boots eye-watering.
Anyway, the boots didn't fit. Really odd fitting on my wife. So I enquired as to returning them. The cost? £45 ($61) because it's international.
Carmina isn't responding to emails. So, when I have proof that they've been delivered I will obtain a refund from my card provider.
