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

Aaaand it’s with Customs now based on the tracking. So I contacted them and was told tomorrow, they’ll let me know how much ransom to pay. Which is good, cause my boots will then likely arrive at the office just in time, while I’m there next week.

Great news CEP - as my wife likes to say: that was quick! Pics or it didn't happen ?.

Why wait for cooler weather?

man up, I’ve got 16oz slub selvedge and jumpers on in 90s with 90% humidity ?

Or
15.7oz if I want to lose a few pounds in sweat ?

Post more pictures of your Carmina shell jumpers or I’ll sue you. Intentional infliction of emotional distress.

That sounds... uncomfortable.

It’s really not bad. As long as you have quality socks on that breathe, you’re good.

Could anyone inform me about cordovan wholecut fit?
As they aren’t lasted as tight as calf, howmuch looser are they?
In one of Kirby Allison videos Carmina’s associate mentioned they sometimes size half down with cordovan wholecuts.

I’m in between sizes. 6UK is good length but width is too tight and 6.5UK is little too long but width is good.

Any input?

Difficult to answer. Personally I have a slim heel and tend to err towards slightly tight width if anything. You can always stretch it slightly at the cobbler but you cannot make the shoe smaller if you take the bigger one. Of course this advice only works with small fit issues.
