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

[steveyoo1983]

Hello Gents!
I hate to clog up the thread with more MTO offerings (our AFFLIATE THREAD will open next Monday on 06/03 btw to discuss more MTO options) but here are just few we had in mind!
We are a new web-store based in Los Angeles / San Diego California. Shipping is complementary and no sales tax outside of CA.

1. String loafer in Dark Brown Suede (single leather sole) (we have 4 interested so far and just need 2 more!)



2. grey suede loafer with navy tassel loafter. This is an MTO we did awhile back but turned out pretty nice and already have 3 who are interested.



We have couple shell boots (cap toe, jodhpur), suede boots we are cosidering as well.

Also if you are interested in one of our stock models, we are placing an order for larger sizes! PM me if you want to reserve yours in your size!

Cheers!

Were the burgundy captoes MTO? Or part of Mr. Yoo's stock offering? Thank you.

Hi badsha,
those Captoes are our stock item, but 8.5 UK in particular is sold out at the moment. We are ordering more of these as well

Does anyone know if there is a US source for Carmina shoe trees at this time? I know they are available from the Carmina site, but I'm not planning any purchases in the near future and the shipping costs for the trees alone would be prohibitive

The only source that I know of is Epaulet but they are $95. If you order more than 1 set it's cheaper from Carmina.

I don't know of anyone in the US that sells them. I had contacted Epaulet a couple weeks ago and was told that they do not carry Carmina shoe trees, not sure if that has changed.

Be in for a dark brown jodhpur in calf or cognac shell or navy shell or maybe a EG slate color?

Hilarious..

I was just mentioning to someone how I wish I could get enough for a brown suede string loafer but its impossible. I'm down.

Hi stevent! Yessir! I think I already have you (and one other) listed for the Jodhpur! (in either cognac shell, navy shell, or whatever color you gents decide) I will let you know once my affiliate page goes live on monday.
Cheers!

Weird, I got this from them last month

Quote:

Yes, we do. They are $95, not listed on our website as we mostly reserve these for special orders.

We also have cedar shoe trees for $28 as an option: http://epauletnewyork.com/products/epaulet-ceder-shoe-trees

Let me know if you're interested in the Carmina shoe trees and I can invoice you for them.

Hmmm...

Many thanks for the info.

Would really like a saddle shell or ruby shell makeup. Though not sure how popular ruby shell is.

 

[mrjester]

Ruby shell seems to be popular. Beautiful color. But its so red, I have no idea how to wear it. Its up there with navy and green. Gorgeous but not as common as other colors.

Couldn't agree more. Mr Yoo has been fantastic with my order too. In fact, I've ordered a pair of the burgundy captoes also!

Just out of interest, did you end up sizing down 0.5 of a size compared to normal? I ordered a 7 UK, the same size I've worn in every other shoe I have, but they were too big in the Rain last and I'm now awaiting a 6.5... Let's hope it fits!

Mine were 1/2 big as well. How were you able to size down?

I would like to know also as it seems as though Carmina's e-store is always out of stock.

I was trying to remember who I was talking to a couple months back about these...I'm in as well.

Awesome. Does that make six? This makes my third Carmina string loafer.. and the only one I wanted in the first place.
