The Shell Cordovan, non-Alden Shoe and Boot Thread

[Andrew Carkhuff]

Must be a 12d... those look like FatTuesday's. Great pair.

You are correct - and thanks!

Any shoe maker offers Cordovan option for wholecut Chelsea boots? Cheers

Carmina used to. Not sure if they still do.

Bonafe can do a wholecut Chelsea in calf, or a standard Chelsea in shell.

I love the two tone, and navy shell!

Thanks, this was a first for me - both navy shell as well as 2 tone shoe...But it turned out well!

God, those ruby boots. Swoon. I shall console myself with cleaning up my navy shell MacNeils. Got the pics just as the sun was going down in the fading light.

Gosh darn those are gorgeous! Can we get some pics of the shoes themselves? I didn't know Carmina did whole cut boots... I thought just shoes.

Thank you and Some pics below. I don’t know if Carmina will make these boots again as after 3 failed attempts they were able to get them done correctly. These are not listed in RTW/MTO section as this was a special model made for me.

Mythical!!! I wouldn't mind trying something like that in a nice calfskin.

Ah yes, I remember when you posted the unboxing of these. They look amazing - like pieces of art, that shouldn't be worn. Super pretty.

I would love something like that, perhaps in a navy or green shell, but I'm a casual guy and the whole-cut looks damn classy. Plus, I really shouldn't be trying to wrangle myself into considering more shoes. I'm four pairs deep already for 2018.

Thank you. Yes I agree I would love a burgundy museum calf in it if they can’t make another shell boot.

Thank you once again. I am in the same boat and purchased way too many boots/shoes this year already!

Mmmm, that is interesting. I’m curious if Carmina would entertain this...
