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

I'm glad you could finally make use of the customisation for our new Goodyear sport shoes @007Bond

Just a thought, would any of you be interested in creating MTO groups with exclusive leathers?

We currently have a small batch of amaretto Cordovan, maybe 7-8 pairs depending on the model.

I’d be in for something like kudu or the some of the other Stead suedes.

Hello @zag73, we can create a Group for any model in our exclusive leathers. Of course you are free to discuss and agree on the models you would like. Do remember MTO groups would include the special styleforum stamp on the insole and we would waive the customisation fee. Therefore, models specially manufactured to your specifications at retail prices.



We currently have two types of waxed kudu from Charles F. Stead, Both in Bark or Gaucho colour. This would be for a maximum GMTO of 4-5 depending on the selected model. Casual and chunky models would be ideal for this leather.

We also have the possibility of creating a made to order group for Pull up leather. This Regency Charles F. stead leather, would be available for 9-10 pairs. This leather would develop clearer parts as it is moulded over the last, therefore we can expected clearer ares over the stretched points such as the toe cap, counter...

The kudu leather looks lovely. Would everyone have to order the same model? Or would you allow everyone to choose their own model but use the same leather?

It might be worthwhile post on here what small batches of leather you have. This would probably peak a lot of interest.

 

[Carmina]

Ideally, we would like to manufacture the same models. However, we are open to manufacture different models as long as the complete hide is used up in the GMTO. In the case of the waxed kudu leathers, we would need a group of 4-5 people to manufacture the group depending on the selected models.

I have attached additional pictures of the hides, the gaucho colour in particular has a lovely detailing up close.

As per small batches, it is certainly an option.

Thank you for helping with my order. Im looking fwd to my shell cordovan sneakers, perhaps the only shell cordovan sneakers in existence, at least that I know of. I wonder if you have received any others who requested your new sneaker in shell cordovan?

With the spring and summer seasons just around the corner I am really excited to receive the sneakers.

Ok I'll jump in first on this.

• Bark Kudu - the Gaucho looks great as well
• 2-eyelet Norwegian Derby 80505 (would be willing to go 5-eyelet 80414)
• Forest last
• Whisky lining
• Open to discussion on sole and edge color

I'm up for boot in Amaretto, cap toe or wingtip. Anyone else interested?

Wingtip would be sweet!

Just got the wholecut dark brown suede oxfords on the rain last, tomir sole; courtesy of the carmina online outlet sale.

My first pair of carminas, and the fit is excellent. Looking forward to wearing them more on my days off.

I am thinking this one in Amaretto on Oscar. Interesting and different.

How much would a wingtip be? I could be interested depending on price and final style
