So, I finally got the green suede string loafer. At $143 it was a no brainer. The only thing I fear is that this might means that no more Carmina at that store. :confused2:

Hi guys. Is the 15% off promo code still working?

Per the coupon info, it ended on the 29th of May. However, you may want to either email Carmina or call a store to see if they can help you out - worst that can happen is they say no.

Carmina and Meermin are sharing the same lasts but with different names. Hiro looks like a copy of Rain to me.

But do you think I should size down because its a loafer?

The hiro monks fit roomy (not tight anywhere)

Anyone know if / how it's possible to fix these? :( Not just aesthetic issue - causing blisters on back of the foot so I have to put on 4 bandaids every day before I put them on!

It depends on how your heel fits in my opinion. I can't wear

Well, how does your heel fit in the Hiro last? If it's snug I wouldn't size down. If it's not, same sizing won't work as you cannot lace loafers.

The heel is not snug in hiro monks. But they still fit well. The monks (bucklers) also cant be laced but buckled (so you cant tighten them so much as a blucher)...
