Introducing my first pair of TLB Mallorca! I had to get a MTO to get a narrow size, so I ended up with a 121 Picasso Artista makeup in vegano brown, and added a toe medallion. I ended up looking suspiciously like a shoe I've been coveting but is no longer available, the Edward Green Lichfield in Dark Oak. I am very happy about this.
The fit is fantastic. Literally no discomfort while wearing them, and the narrower heel is the best I've come across in any shoe I've bought. I'm already planning my second and third MTO with them.
My only gripe is that narrow widths are not offered as retail, and require the MTO charge. Still worth it compared to any other brand I've tried. Carmina doesn't have any true narrow lasts with room in the vamp and a narrow heel, Crockett & Jones charges $1,000+ for narrow makes, and a surprising number of brands don't offer narrow sizing at all.
And just as everyone said, Tony is the nicest.

Unfortunately not. Only web presence. If you email them, they're very helpful regarding fit, etc.

I can attest to this. Very helpful and nice words from their support.

Does the Picasso last have a big heel like Carmine Rain?

No, the opposite, a relatively narrow heel.

Have you tried Simpson, Alcudia or Uetam lasts at Carmina's?

Have you tried Simpson, Alcudia or Uetam lasts at Carmina's?

Yes, I tried all three, and a few other narrow ones. None of them are narrow enough in the heel unfortunately.

What is the length of the outsole on size 7uk or 7.5uk Picasso last?

Nice looking collection, ludoN, but where are the chukka boots?

Thanks !
I tried to like boots or chukkas but I just came to the conclusion it's not my thing, I do not feel comfortable and it doesn't fit my style. The only pair of boots I have is a pair of rugged Trickers, otherwise I just wear sneakers.

I understand; mine took some getting use to.

Received my MTO chelseas ordered on Black Friday, and they are immaculate. Double City soles and brown museum calf. Boot shaft is a little wide, which I understand is a thing with Spanish makers. However, the Picasso last is so good they still fit perfectly.

TLB do amazing boots and those look great thanks for posting! I have a pair that are 3 years old now and they still look good.
