Anyone else have fit advice for the Simpson last? I was going to order some double monks in 1 size below my US brannock sizing, which is what I have a derby on the Oscar last in.

Any plans to expand the women's line further? I showed my wife the Carmina jodhpur boot and she wants it, but in black. Just wondering if you think that's something you might be offering in the future.

So for Bonafe 946, everyone is sizing down .5 from alden Barrie or AE 5 last? I wear a 10.5 in length on both of those, so I should probably go with a 10 UK right?

I went down a full size from Barrie (equivalent to my Rain and Forest size). Have to wait to let you know how they work as I just did an MTO beginning if the month.

@Leaves I had a recent email from Betty at Carmina stating that they don't make extended widths (like G or H UK). I remember reading somewhere that they will for MTOs on Rain or Inca lasts. Which is true, in your exoerience? I would definitely consider joining a Carmina GMTO if I could get an extra wide.

Thank you!


For GMTO all pairs have to be the same width.

Forest E , EE , EEE
Detroit E,EE,EE
Rain D , EE, EEE

D- Very narrow
E- Narrow
EE- Normal /wide
EEE- Very wide

We aim at stocking at least three styles every season, due to storage limitations we can't carry too many women's styles.

@Leaves someone mentioned Mahogany CC Galway will be on the stock list for EG. Is that a veldtschoen model?

To clarify, that make up is our store stock, not an EG stock line.
Any ETA as to when a pre-order will be available? Not in a huge hurry as this will obviously be for next winter, just trying to plan accordingly. Thanks.

You'll better ask for Vass I believe. St. Crispin is much more expensive than those model Skoaktiebolaget currently carry, and their QC is declining rapidly in my opinion.
