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

[Neville Southall]

I don’t think so. The forest pair it’s not mine and it’s a size 7 and the oscar it’s size 7,5

Well, that explains it.

I bow to your superior self-enablement skills! I only ordered one pair of boots I wasn’t planning on. ;-)

It’s too hard not to order. Haha. I’m already up to about 10 pairs of Carminas.??‍♂️

Unfortunately, we do not have lloret in the comparison tool since it is a last under development.

We will let the members on the list know as soon as nº 4 reaches the factory. Nonetheless, we should be getting leather for around 10 boots. Meaning, depending on what models users select we will be able to extend the leather for more orders.

Well now's the real dilemma, I'm 12th for color 4 so there's a good chance there may not be enough. Now, do I order something else from the MTO? Decisions, decisions...

Hopefully there’s some shoe orders because from memory I’m number 2 or 3 and I’m ordering Jumper Boots.......sorry

You have far more willpower than I @stook1 - I was pounding on the enablement button as soon as @Carmina announced the event. I’m a year early, but it’s only money ;-).

Ehhh, I wouldn't say that actually. I've already done 3 carmina mto this year.

I’m on 6 ?

Does anyone have any experience with the dainite and victoria soles? How would you compare them to each other?

The two soles make a 6mm edge, but the Victoria got 2,5mm of studs in addition (they can not be seen from the outside). So Dainite is thinner, slider and a little bit more flexible ; Victoria, without making a bigger edge, is thicker (better for cold season and rain), stronger, a little bit more grippy and more durable.
Personnaly, I prefer Victoria.

I'd be astonished if Carmina isn't working to get more color 4 given that there are at least 30 people on the list. The demand is much more apparent than Amaretto, which they brought back after the small event in the spring.

I think I am 6 on the list and also ordering boots but I bet there will be some shoes ordered.

What is exactly color 4, please ?

Apologies in advance for my lack of bootography skills.

@Carmina May I know what your current interest list looks like for the color 4? So I can know where I am on the list. I placed my interest on Sept 13th.

Can I please trouble you for a photo of snuff vs polo colour?

Let me try to snap a few pictures tonight for you. Polo has a hint of red to it (at least IMO), while snuff is a warmer brown. I just prefer snuff. I also like tobacco more than polo, but again it's a personal preference.

Wow, thanks for the great detailed answer.

Is tobacco more yellow? Got any pictures?

I agree that the tobacco has a reddish tone...I seem to remember a couple retailers calling it "fox suede" at one point. It's really hard to capture what suede looks like in photos because it can change pretty dramatically depending on lighting.
