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

Time to get this day started, rocking my cognac shell jumpers.

I want a pair from the cordovan event, but they don’t come in wide sizes. The work boots or the monk boots in amaretto shell would be top tier.

I think you can specify that on the ones with EE lasts in the comments section when ordering. The full shell range is now uploaded to each item too. I may, may have been tempted… 😇

Been looking back through the archives and some stunning MTO and limited GMTO makeups (ie. any makeup in a given shell color or any leather / last makeup in a given style) over the years from Carmina.
Looking for inspiration for my next MTO makeup so would love to see some of the forum members' personal favorites from over the years. Particularly interested in shell

Extra credit question: expository thoughts on dark shell (black, blue, burgundy) with natural welt

Randomly called in to see how my MTO from the last weekend was coming along. Was told projected end of June. (And that was with the stores saying their orders get priority). Oof.

Dark shell with a natural welt tends to look better as a casual style. Brass eyelets, casual style (derby, boot, etc), and casual last.

I’ve gazillions of Trickers with natural welts so have stayed well away from specifying Carmina for no other reason than my brain associates that combo more with casual or country styles.

80277 Rain Amaretto from GMTO a few months ago. Didn't bother posting when I received it because @Crafty Cumbrian got the same makeup and takes better photos than me

Color 4 U-tips on Sineu, king of lasts. Slimmer aesthetic than a typical tanker.

Disappointed to see another price hike...Inflation claims another victim.

Received notification today that my order from the last fee-waived special are on their way to me. DHL says they'll be here on Wednesday.

Pulled the trigger on Detroit last LWB in Color 4. They'll be my first Carminas and my first shell pair of shoes.
