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

I have to say it’s wired choice, Grey Suede Chelsea boots. For Jeans or chinos? Anyway, thanks Carmina’s great service for this MTO order.

I don't see how those work for chinos, but both blue and white jeans work.

Either different lighting than usual or you shined these bad boys recently. Looking beautiful as always!

Probably the light is hitting them from a different angle but don't think they don't shine as this usually.

Love the burnishing effect. Congrats!

I think you meant Model : 531?

Cognac shell LWB on detroit

bourbon grain shell with natural shell rear quarter chukka on sineu

color 4 shell double stitch cap toe boot on Oscar.

the boot is a standard cap toe boot, without any brogue patterns, the medallion would’ve looked out of place.Typically, a medallion would accompany some brogueing on the cap or a half brogue design.

Thanks for the points you make on the medallion. Makes complete sense. I wear an 8.5 Oscar boot. How do you compare your experiences with the Detroit and Sineu lasts?

Question for the group.

does anyone have the new beechwood shoe tees with the springs in a uk7?

I have 5-6 sets of the hinges in uk7 and uk7.5, and would actually prefer the spring version for a few of the pairs. Would love to either buy or trade if hinges for spring if anyone has them and would like to do it.

I am still waiting on a few sets of the spring version I purchased back in November and December with my custom orders but have yet to receive them. With the covid-19, I don’t really expect to anytime soon. Hence seeking the alternative option of trading or buying here

here is the version I am seeking:

Anyone able to say how Carmina sizing compares to Cheaney please

 

[ErPupone4]

I have a question for anyone that owns a Carmina belt. Can they be shortened? Trying to decide on what size to get.

I have a question for anyone that owns a Carmina belt. Can they be shortened? Trying to decide on what size to get.

I find they run a size small, but looks like you can unscrew the bolt in order to shorten.

I find they run a size small, but looks like you can unscrew the bolt in order to shorten.

what do you mean with small? I have one Carmina belt in 36 with a 32 waist (and 34 for most belt brands)
