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

@Carmina One final question for the MTO (hopefully). Do you have samples (or examples) of the dark brown boxcalf and the burgundy vegano? I'm looking for something dark but with some character (i.e. not too bold a red and not to dark a brown).

Not to bring other manufacturers into this, but this shade of brown from EG is what I'd be most interested in.

Vegano brown is very similar

Vegano brown is very similar

I thought this based on some pics, but the Inca pair I have seem a bit lighter in reality. I'm not sure if it was a one off or if it's a slightly different leather.

I'm looking for jumper boots with Soller vs. Rain last. If anyone has both models, could you please share the comparison photo? (Especially from the top and side)

Thank you in advance. @Carmina

Hi all

I have Carlos Santos lasts 234 and 384 in size 5.5 UK. Which size and last should I purchase for Carmina?

I notice that some people purchase the same size, while others purchase 0.5 size up from their Carlos Santos size.

Thanks.

Does anyone have any fitment knowledge of the lloret last? I'm thinking of doing an MTO for the derby boot on it.

@Carmina can you show a comparison of the lloret vs Oscar vs Rain lasts?

Thanks in advance!

Absolutely stunning. How do you find cordovan as a boot? Much different than leather in terms of flexibility?

Lloret? I've never even heard of that one.

Maybe they already do this on instagram or something (I don't use instagram), but it'd be cool if there were some sort of announcement when new lasts came out. I feel like I'm losing track of them all.

Yeah, looks like they only use it for the 80548 derby boot, the more i search, here's the link: https://www.carminashoemaker.us/mto...3.1761209571.1570464551-1439687261.1567641797

I'd guess it's similar to the rain last last, based off their description but I'm interested in seeing if anyone else knows anything! I'm digging the shape of it.

I think you can ask carmina to darken them. I believe Carnina colour the vegano themselves.

Simply lovely. The Oscar last looks a lot rounder than Forest, huh?

 

[danadd94]

Also @Carmina , will the color 4 group receive an waive for the MTO fee and is there an updated estimate of when it will be available? I'm trying to decide if I order something in Armagnac now or wait for color 4... Thanks in advance!

Oscar it's definitely more casual than forest. It's often difficult to appreciate from photos but forest is pointier than oscar. Also forest has a taller toe box which I dislike
