Really doubt you will find 6 EEE participants. You'd probably have better luck getting 6 standard width and then adding on to theirs

If it were that easy, I would have done it already. The point is to avoid the mark up, or the fat foot tax, which EEE orders have to pay. :violin:

Why? Once their is six of one width then there is not a minimum for other widths. That seems pretty simple to me

I think this is the case with EG and GG, but not Carmina.

Carmina may have changed that policy recently as per a conversation I believe I saw on another thread. I could be wrong though.

Did Soak ever carry Carmina rain in EEE width? Or do you necessarily have to order it as a(n) (G)MTO?



I believe you either need to do an MTO with a 50% mark up, find an all EEE Gmto (no mark up, which I would be interested in), or pay a mark up on a gmto (though I defer to Skoak for truth to this last one).

Brown plain toe blucher or burgundy Adelaide with a medallion on the rain last in a EEE?



I had asked Gabriel in an email if it would be now possible to add EEE sizes to GMTOs on Rain or Detroit, as other retailers are now able to do this and Carmina also allows through their site.

But they were swamped with Edward Green business at the time, and I never followed up on it. Maybe the idea can be revisited?


Carmina will allow adding different widths in a GMTO for a 30% surcharge (for the pairs in different widths that is).

Sweet. For me, the Laughton is the equivalent of the St James for G&G, elegant yet stylish.

Any fit pics ?

To avoid the 50% or other mark up, I am trying to gauge any interest in the following GMTO for Rain lasted EEE wearers.

Maker: Carmina
Style: Adelaide
Color: Vegano Burdeaux
Last: Rain
Width: EEE only

Similar make ups in Non-EEE.

http://www.skoaktiebolaget.se/products/carmina-museum-calf-adelaide
http://www.skoaktiebolaget.se/products/carmina-burgundy-adelaide-1

Cap toe with medallion, medallion only, or other toe make up?

We'd need 5 others to get it going. @Dieg0 ?

I have other purchases/plans for September, but if the GMTO starts after the end of September I would be in for the adelaide without cap toe, but with medallion.
Hope we will find enough people, but it's not urgent for me as we here will soon only have bad, rainy wetter. Having it for Spring would be excellent. Otherwise there is bonafé which only needs three to MTO, but is slightly more expensive than carmina.
