Our Burgundy Beauty is on the slightly elongated and soft chiseled 2102b last. It's quite roomy in the instep but features a sleek vamp and a low toe box.

@Skoaktiebolaget Is the 2102b last roomier in the instep then the 946 last?

Restock still planned for September on the Carmina jumper boot?

It sure is!

It's slightly roomier in the instep but sleeker in the vamp.

Here's a blast from the past - black calf/suede balmoral boots from Skoaktiebolaget:



I still went 'Wow!' when I opened the box to take them out this morning

 

[Bertel]

Wonderful! And stunning picture

That reminds me - I really want a pair of black bal boots. Nice!

I don't often wear tall boots in the summer, but my Bonafes came out to play at the park yesterday:

Full shot in heir more usual frosty surroundings:

I need more of this brand in the rotation.

Thank you!

Yes, you should get some and I know just the place ...

Those boots look great. It's getting warmer over here so it won't be boot weather much longer.

Really the best value for the money. Unfortunately for me I can only wear 946 last. Other lasts are really strange. 2102 has a very high instep that there no way I could ever fit in it, 363 also has a high instep and it is very restrictive in the the toe box. I tried two different sizes on 363 and I could not make it wearable. great shoes by Bonafe.

 

[laufer]



Yes, 363.

I was hoping you would say on 804 last. I had no luck with 363 last. I tried a pair of wingtip but the toe box was way to narrow while instep was very high. I tried going a half a size up and ordered a pair of boots thinking that they may fit me but this did not work either.
There was some talk that you guys may bring a modified version of 363 last with increased toe room? Has this materialized or are you still bringing in the same 363 last?

Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying myself a pair of Balmoral boots for the winter and I'd like your input. How casual a clothes can I combine these Balmoral boots from Carmina with? Would they only work well with suits/odd jacket and trousers or could they be worn together with more casual clothes like chinos/jeans, shirt and a pullover?

 

[striker]

Very little is known of the Bonafes last, is there one particular one that has a lower instep?

You can definitely wear them with casual clothes such as denim or khakis if you'd like. The grain/calf combo is very versatile and pairs well with a lot of different fabrics and can be dressed up and dressed down as you'd like.

The 804-last (used for our suede double monks) is notably lower in the instep than our other Enzo Bonafé-lasts.

I bought these boots, for the same reason, and they are very versatile indeed. I've worn them with a suit, with dress pants, chinos, and jeans. They look super sharp with the right denim/fit.

One word of caution--I think they're way too nice to see actual winter weather, the single thickness sole means that salt and slush will definitely get on the uppers!

After a year of weekly wear they are incredibly comfortable as well, even though the grain portion will feel a bit stiff out of the box.

The zugs told the customs official "these are not the boots you are looking for."


@tifosi - ignore that

I'm beginning to think that I can't be a well adjusted, functioning forum member until I see that movie.....
