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

Are Carmina's exotic leathers like Lizard real? Or are these just regular calfskin that has been "embossed" to create an exotic pattern?

Absolutely real baby

Gorgeous. ?

I recommend Laccico laces and 2,5 mm. I also have shell jumper boots and the original laces was ripped within a two weeks. I've tried 2,0 mm laces, but they are a bit thin and they will break within a few months.

thanks, I'll order some!

My Color 4 GMTO came in so I thought I'd share. Some minor issues I'll sort out with carmina that don't have to do with the shoes themselves, but just a really incredible pair. Outstanding hardly covers it. I think this is one of their best models executed perfectly with a really special leather. Very happy with the way these turned out.

this does not look like color #4

I’m at around 60 days waiting on the color 4 MTO. I figured it would slow around this time and 45 days might be unlikely but are others still waiting and, if so, have they heard anything? Really just want to be sure it didn’t fall between the cracks somehow.

same bro, same

 

[ThinkDerm]

Yup, I'm still waiting for my pair as well. Haven't heard anything but then again I haven't reached out to ask, either.

same. I reached out, no response yet

 

[ThinkDerm]

Still waiting on mine as well. I had pushed them on the amaretto timing then had massive QC issues, so I’m fine with taking the patient approach this time.

I'm being patient. having these in the hopper prevents more damage...

I got my follow up this Wednesday, it looks like Carmina CS is recovering

yet to hear back

I was wondering the same—looks more like bourbon, or perhaps it's just the artificial lighting. I was looking side by side with some color 4 boots that had been posted previously and these seem to be lacking the red undertones and look lighter overall.

I’m guessing it’s the photos. Second picture has some color fouriness to it.
