FYI I heard through the grapevine that Carmina is running an MTO fee waive next month. I plan on getting a pair of navy cordovan loafers.

Has anyone a good picture comparing the robert vs forest last? I have the Rubi's in Forest. I heard Robert is like Forest by a little sleeker?

Crafty, long time... awesome as usual!! I have nearly the same boot but I have a question as I am partial to this style. I am slightly mystified as to how you ordered this makeup since it appears to be the low jumper but with the heel counter used in the high jumper. I have tried to purchase exactly this makeup a couple times over the years without success.

I have done enough carmina orders at this point to know that the possibilities are oftentimes a function of how one asks, lol. But I am nonetheless most curious about the specifics of your order vis a vis the model and heel counter arrangements.

It terms of shell lasting. Carminas are lasted loosely, also shell stretches. These are my nearly 3 year old Carmina wingtips in cognac (darkened over time). These are rain lasted 6.5UK using a 6.5UK Rain lasted shoe tree. It is loose on the vamp.
