Carmina's Alcudia Last - How Does It Fit?

[upnorth]

Where in the shoe hierarchy does Carmina lie? Similar to C&J Handgrades?

Yes, I am referring to the EG 82.

Mark, I was 100% sure what I wanted, until I saw the dark burgundy. Uh crap

Me, too. I'm trying to convince my SO to buy me two pairs and an umbrella. 1. 2. I know the forum rule is no linking to p0rn but I just had to

I better get my order in quick before you jackels attack!

I think I sent you a photo of the dark burgundy a while ago, haha. I thought you were looking for something a little more on the casual side though?

Quick question before I place my order; how does the Simpson last fit/compare to EG?

Thx

Do the split toes come in any other color besides the dark tan ?

This seems rather enthusiastically fanatic. Please elaborate.

Those with the EG dover might disagree with you. The stitching on the split toe seems closer and finer on the EGs.

They are better than Alden for sure, especially their Cordovans shoes. I do not have experience with their calf shoes but the price seems roughly similar to C&J handgrades so you'd pardon my inevitable urge to compare.

Doesnt the Dover have a different kind of toe stitching. It seems different from the Carmina which seems similar to the AS style. EG

JL

AS

tongue in cheek - the dover or ecton hype is long gone... ...the curve of EG seems on a downwards trip. AS is the new kid in town, though i find their interior inferior. on a price worth ratio, i don't think you can beat carmina atm.
