I don't happen to look like a clown in my RMs, but they are 9F too so I hope this comparison with Carmina's 8.5UK Sineu is useful to you.

Thanks for that! This is the perfect comparison! I tried their regular width which is 9G. The fit is perfect but it looks so wide on my fit. I think it's just my chicken legs ?

I'll take a picture in the next couple days. Personally, I think a suede pair is fine with jeans but calfskin might be tough to pull off.

I'm leaning more towards suede, but I am considering the elbamat or lama leather.

My favorite pair of Carmina under different lighting conditions. Amaretto shell cordovan jumper boots

My First Chelsea Boots from Carmina arrived today but.. I don't know if this is acceptable quality for Carmina or am I just expecting too much?

Send them back. Im sure they’ll take care of things. One thing that’s consistent at Carmina is the excellent customer service.

Oh. And they sent you flawed shoes???

Not so terrible flaws for free boots - some creases, some scars, one boot darker then the other, heel balance is off as other guys have mentioned in thread... I have keep them because it's free and them was shipped to my friend in another country And also I'm living in third world country, so not a big deal

SF customer service so much better though.

This must be a new Chelsea Last ?
