    Anyone know what happened with Marco and the brand? To be honest, I've never worn my pair. The poor fit around the ankle and instep, as well as the terrible transaction has still left me with a sour taste.

    Better to be lucky than good, I suppose.

    Gentlemen, in a shocking turn of events my shoes have been delivered. Fit still is not quite right (even after 2 pairs of fitting shoes), and the lasted shoe trees do not fill the space of the shoe. Nonetheless, the shoes are beautiful.

    Update: new deadline is allegedly end of the week. Guy is a joke. Mods should change the title of this thread to "SCAM ALERT Riccardo Bestetti bespoke projects"

    Unfortunately I did not (definitely will not make that mistake again). I met him in November 2018 in Manhattan and thought everything would go smoothly. Seemed to be the case after I met with him in December and then again in February. I agree about St.C--I have a custom last with them and...

    Agreed, doubt anything will come from this. Mostly just to make myself feel better LOL. Marco has a few business addresses in Manhattan, so I'll probably file with small claims court in NYC. Really frustrating to see (or not see) Marco run away with so many people's money.

    Ouch indeed. Informed Marco today that if my shoes are not ready by Sept 30th (tomorrow) that I will be taking legal action. At this rate he's probably screwed over enough people to start a class action lawsuit.

    He's been responding pretty consistently since February. I email about once a month (when another delivery deadline has passed). He usually replies within the hour if the timezones line up, otherwise within 24 hours. I think I ordered back in December, could have been even earlier...

    I commissioned and paid, he's been giving me the runaround since February. I'm way beyond the 6 months for PayPal to do anything about getting my money back. Supposedly I'm supposed to receive my shoes between Sept 15-30. Really hope I'm not SOL and out a good chunk of money--not sure what to...

    Met with Marco on Friday to try on the fitting shoes and finalize my order. Final product (and pictures) coming in about a month!

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

    At the factory they can add pieces of leather to certain spots on the last to add space. Right now I'm thinking I asked for a *little* too much room at the instep--could've gone without the adjustment because I like to lace my shoes and boots tight without the eyelets touching.

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

    Went with the tomir sole for both pairs. With the snow and what not of New York, leather soles can be tricky with boots. They added space at the front of the foot on both inside and outside, and some at the instep. The Albaladejo family was there to help decide what additions to the last would...

    Just took delivery on my boots from the NYC store opening (polo suede jumper boots, Inca lasts with some fitting adjustments). Friend also got a pair of boots for herself (burgundy).
