Well I've been hit by the Carmina QC curse; my triple sole boots arrived looking very single-soled.
My Detroit lasted Pereandre Chelseas landed today. Very nice leather, excellent build quality. The Detroit last is much more generous than I expected compared to the Oscar last

Are you striking out with Carmina fit? You've got a couple other pairs in the BST right?I'm ashamed to say they don't fit me for ****... "Good thing" I bought three pairs. HMU if you're interested...
Is it just that they don't grip the ankle around the top of the foot properly, and you get heel slip? Or is the actual insole too wide too? Honestly I looked at those and thought that they had done an exceptionally loose blocking of the uppers - all carmina chelseas tend to be loose like that and only suit high volume ankles.So far. I've had two Oscars 9.5 which are seemingly too small and three Detroits which are seemingly too big... I can't win!
Nah, I looked carefully and counted the layers.Might be their dressy sleek looking version of a triple sole? Very Euro high couture.
Are they the super wide Detroit? I’ve not had either fitting but one is supposed to be super generous.I'm ashamed to say they don't fit me for ****... "Good thing" I bought three pairs. HMU if you're interested...

These are / should be their standard Detroit, not the wide versionAre they the super wide Detroit? I’ve not had either fitting but one is supposed to be super generous.
Try double sock, and then try insole (just get the one out of your sneakers if you don't have anything more appropriate), and report back?All of the above honestly, my foot is absolutely swimming... sigh
definitely. I tried the double sock off the bat, then a heavyweight hiking sock - my foot is still the small kid in the pool of the Detroit. I ordered some 3/4 and full insoles on AMZ to try as a remedy, so we'll see when they arrive if that does anything. Super disappointed with this fit, can't believe this last from Carmina seems so different from othersTry double sock, and then try insole (just get the one out of your sneakers if you don't have anything more appropriate), and report back?
And what's your issue with Oscar then out of curiosity? Not enough instep room?definitely.
