Did you get the tracking number?

When I had got the email it had the tracking number in it and when you log into your MD account it should be also under your orders.

I only got mine yesterday, but then again I'm Down Under.

Anyone interested, give me a pm.

Anyone have a pair of 9.5EE for sale. I sold my 10.5EE for a good price to help another member out but all the prices I am getting are ridiculous considering we are all getting refunds.

I thought this offer included beechwood shoe trees?

"And to keep your shoes in top condition, every order includes a pair of Carmina’s red velvet dust bags and sized shoe trees. Designed to help maintain shape, prevent creasing, and promote longevity, the shoe trees also wick moisture (and with it, odor) away from the leather. Made from beechwood, they’re fitted with knobs for easy removal"

Mine don't look like beechwood, more like cedar:

Yeah, now that I think about it mine were cedar, too. Honestly do not care as cedar wicks better than beechwood (I think... Perhaps I am wrong about this and there is no discernible difference), controls odor better, and obviously performs as well as anything else for keeping shape. Only downsides are that it can have too strong a smell and could leave some residue on the lining. The trees I got had a very mild scent, so I am not worried about residual odor/oils.

Are they light or heavy? That would be the easy way to tell if they are cedar or beechwood. Personally, I prefer cedar and wish my Carmina trees were that, but oh well.

It smelled like cedar to me - which I like.

Hi, did most everyone get missized or were some orders correctly sized in US sizing? Just wondering because both mine and my friend's fit fine, and we both ordered based on our US sizing. Just wanted to know if I need to reconsider sizing if I order Carminas again. Thanks for any and all insight!

I think we all got the wrong size. What exactly is on your boxes and on the bottom of your shoes?

Both my shoe and my box say 6.5EE. I ordered 6.5D. I was informed earlier in this thread that Carmina's EE is the same as a US D. I normally take a US7/EU39 for sneakers, but I find some dress shoes to be a bit too loose in the heel, so I tried sizing down to a 6.5D (EU38.5 according to their sizing chart) because a lot of posters said the Rain last has a high instep.

 

[MGoCrimson]

That's odd. Do you have a wide foot?

Rain is one of Carmina's wider lasts midfoot+toebox along with Forest. The others are substantially more narrow.

So in the Carmina world a 6.5EE converts to a US 7.5D. So like us all sounds like you ordered in your US size and got the UK size. So if you like the fit of that shoe you need to order the same size as you have UK 6.5EE.

IMO the conversion is not a true whole size for example I wear a US 10D but I find it a tiny bit loose, but I cannot wear a 9.5D to tight. So that would make me a 9EE in UK size and those fit spot on not loose at all. So I believe it is more of a .75 diff since the 9EE fits me so well it's like a US 9.75D.
