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'll upload some photos next to other color 4 specimens later today, but certainly, these are color 4. Just starting a little darker than some Color 4. (Also red looks very brown under inside lights in photos. You'll understand better when I post the side by sides.)

They don't look anything like bourbon. Totally different shade of brown.

Nice, looking forward to seeing more photos. Still waiting on mine - 532 long wing (believe same model) on Oscar with flat welt and double JR. Wonder if there are any other color 4 long wing makeups in the group.

As someone who wears 10.5 EEE on the Allen Edmonds 65 Last, what sizing is comparable on the Carmina's? It seems like the EEE is only equivalent to a E width in the US.

Any places to try Carmina shoes in Toronto? Or is New York the closest?

I also wear 10.5 EEE in AE. Based on the advice from this thread, I ended up ordering boots in 10.5 EEE Rain last and they fit well. YMMV
