The Official Carmina Sizing Thread

[peanutbutterjellychoo]

I don't think the Simpson last runs small length wise. However, I do find that it is quite a narrow last. I would stay true to size as the sizes reflect the length of the shoe but would probably advise getting one and two widths wider if possible

so Im looking to buy direct the Carmina PTB detroit 531....

its described as EE last...extra wide......does that mean thats how its stocked?

Im a bit confused...its my first time to order.

What do I do if I need a medium width?..MTO?


and what is medium+ as I see listed on the site?...


big thnx......I want to get it right.


Also,


I noticed when you choose the USA website link the prices are a bit higher.......why is that?

I don't know where to begin with sizing. I am in USA.

I'm an 8.5d in Allen Edmonds in the strand show. And 9d in their Cornwallis.

For carmina, I like their rain, inca, Forrest, and Simpson. What sizes should I be looking at?

7.5 UK in Rain I think.

Hello...I've searched quite a bit to avoid asking this question but I'm unable to find an answer. I've emailed Carmina but have not heard back...

Is the Rain-D last considered a US "C" width or at least more narrow the US "D" width?

The standard Rain width is labeled EE but I would say it is equivalent to a US D width. It is not a US E width and definitely not US EE.

I haven't tried the Rain in D width but I would imagine it is closer to US C width.

Is anyone selling a 9.5 UK rain black chelsea boot (or any 9.5 UK rain last related footwear)for that matter) ?

I don't have a US width comparison, and have not tried the standard rain, but if it helps the Rain D fit is pretty similar to the Simpson last (I have both in UK8) -- the RainD is a little narrower/less volume in the heel/instep area, and slightly tighter toebox (both narrower and less height) than Simpson.

I have a pair of Carmina Double Monks (Inca last) in size UK 8. Fits me quite snugly.

Thinking of getting a pair of Jodhpur or Chelsea which is in Forest last. Can someone advise me what size I should get? Reading through the thread suggests I should try UK 8.5.

Advice on rain last?

I'm a 6.5-7D brannock with flat feet and I think a narrow heel.
6E AE 5 last (a little snug through the instep)
6D Barrie and Trubalance

Any chance I can do a 6UK rain?

Whatever fits good on last 5 go one full size down will work the best I am 9.5D on park avenue I take 8.5uk for rain last.

God damn it this is not the answer I wanted.

Sorry to necrobump an old thread, but I don't usually hang out around these parts and I'm too lazy to sift through all the information.

I'm interested in a pair of the wholecut oxfords 910 Rain. If I normally take EU39 for shoes, should I trust their sizing guide and size to a UK6? Thank you!

I'm an EU 39 and UK6 in Rain works for me. You could be a 5.5 though depending on volume, etc.
