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

[Carmina]

Any chance of getting the length measurements for a rain and soller in size 9?

These last comparisons are made for size 7.5uk which is the size we use for our samples.

Forest EEE vs Oscar last

We will have to check on the available shades for grain and Karagrain. Do you have a model or style in mind?

Thanks !
In fact, I want a Dress Boots 80184 in Chestnut Karangrein (not the classic grain) but I don't know if the Karangrein in Chestnut is beautiful in my eyes, so I hesitate to custom the boots with it or with Tan Karangrein which I will dye myself to obtein the exact color I am looking for...

@Carmina
Otherwise, the Forest EEE last is a little bit larger than the Oscar's one. So, is it possible to choose Victoria rubber sole with Forest EEE ?

Can’t remember if I posted


If Carlos Santana made shoes, I would definitely buy several pairs. Maybe they would help my musicianship!

PS, I know you meant Carlos Santos, haha

Carlos Santana is a brand of shoe

Indeed Carlos Santana makes some fine shoes; here you go https://www.carlosshoes.com/ maybe Sara would be interested. On the other hand, @Carmina is there any more info on Randa last. It looks very appealing, but I do not see many models on your web site on Randa last.

Have you bought Carlos Santana shoes? I was looking into a pair of chukka boots with Blake construction.
The other irony is that its actually musician Carlos Santana company so perhaps peppercorn78 could improve his musicianship.

We had a request a while back to show you the available sketches for a winged boot that resembled the "Calway".

As you know, we have a great archive of models that are both in the making or heritage from other generations. Amongst our selection we have found and polished four options.

We have decided to manufacture a new model which we will number as 80791. However, you all have the option of deciding which boot will be part of our collection.

Of course, we will also create a private GMTO for Styleforum users if you are interested.

I'd vote for option 3 in the images above, which is I think option 1 in the link.

Sara, please see my PM about this as well. It's frustrating that we weren't able to line this up with the color 4 orders and I'm hoping something can be done there.

First of all, I'm very excited to see these designs! I've voted for the boot in the 3rd picture (option 1 on the survey). I think 1st picture would make a fantastic boot as well (option 3 on the survey). In fact I think Carmina can offer the model shown in your first picture as a standard offering. It's a relatively unique boot. Enzo Bonafe has a similar model (but still different from Carmina's design). I haven't come across this design elsewhere, atleast not among comparable makers

By the way, looks like these are all 10 eyelet boots. Any ideal how tall the boots would be?

+1

@Carmina

Option 1 (pic 3) in the link looks fantastic. Galway-Esque but with a nice Carmina twist.

Sarah, already voted for number 1. These are amazing! Thanks so much.

 

[Blastwice]

Voted. Not too sure about the last. Seems like Forest or something could work but I'm not familiar with the various small last differences for boots without seeing them.

Also voted for the potential 80791
