@Carmina Is it possible to make a boot with this type of Lactae Hevea crepe sole, and with this type of layered heel?
If anyone else knows, please feel free to comment.

Shrunken Kudu hide apparently. Looks a bit odd. I seen them earlier. I looooove Kudu too.

Just saw these on Carmina IG. Beautiful.

How does the Tims last compare to the Rain or Xim?

Thanks

Could be interesting in a two tone variant. But probably a new model, as it is not in a catalog.

Air dried, shrunken and waxed Kudu from C.F. Stead tannery.

I had to get lotion for Lactae Hevea once...

Feel free to post pics if you like.

Anyway, I like the look of this sole and heel, and would like to know if Carmina can produce something similar, as I'm trying to come up with a very casual boot, with a high comfort factor.

From my experience manufacturers usually buy soles in bulk, so unless a huge demand they may not be keen. Some will use if you supply, I’m having an mto off another maker and have supplied soles to them so that’s a possibility for you to suggest.

Can we ask who the other maker is? ?

Anyone have experience with these specific unlined loafers, 80545, on the Uetam EE last? I'm wondering how wide the last really is, given it also has a low instep, supposedly.

Viberg, sold by Division Road.

Seems so, especially for the Oscar.

You said you are looking to go without storm welt. Is this the look you are seeking to achieve?

Sorry, I forgot to ask, where did you find this picture? Is this a previous Carmina MTO? Thanks.

Look, I am sure I am not the first person to think this but why is your profile pic (or should I say gif) so weird?

I know where it is from, but that does not change my opinion that it is weird. If the (supposedly) greatest fashion expert told me I needed to strap on a man to be stylish, I would advise him to get his brain checked.
