    Also, aren't the Chelseas' elastic gores rather wide? They look that way to me online and in pictures.

    Rain and Sineu seem very similar in terms of general shape. I have a soft chisel chukka boot so maybe its time for an almond toe this time. Not sure how available Sineu is in the Customization tool. I'll probably need to configure my order with Rain but add a request for the factory to use...

    Two more newbie questions: Carmina virtual agent claimed that Rain would be best for my high instep; would you agree? Also, pictures of Chelseas seem to show the elastics as rather wide; if true then I might change to looking for a Balmoral lace-up.

    Newbie here again. I noticed pictures of the Buger last outside SF and liked it's narrowness and length. But I can't find it on the Customizer or anywhere on the Carmina site. If its still around? I'd like it for a Chelsea or balmoral boot.

    I appreciate your help but still al little confused. Does model number convey a style, last, and leathers? Is there a list of model numbers?

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    I understand that Oscar is the last but sometimes I've seen that someone says they tried model X but now want to try model Y, al with the same last. For example, one of the Chelseas with the Oscar last model X vs. model Y. Is the model number simply the combination of the type of boot or shoe...

    Hello, I've been a way from SF for a long time. I'm a Carmina newbie and am looking to understand the Carmina model numbers. What does the 80092 convey in the phrase "80092 Balmoral boots on Oscar". Thanks, Michael
