Interesting... The color of cognac is actually really deep. I'm pleasantly surprised!!

Hi!! you got right, when asking about the color, they told me, it was like deep brown, and it is.

Where to buy seconds? Do seconds go on sale?

Hi!
Look in Carmina web, outlet, always you can find interesting things, unless you live in Spain, Mallorca, because in the fisical store always there are sales. I don't know about seconds.

When I searched the forum earlier I found out that it's similar to rain with more toe room so I went ahead and ordered the same size as I have in rain. I'm guessing you're eyeballing the green Chelsea boots too?

Will Carmina always send a shipping confirmation and tracking no. or does the package just show up sometimes? I placed an outlet order over a week ago and all I have got so far is a confirmation that the payment is processed the same day.

Hi! Don´t worry, I placed an order 7 days ago, and the package arrived today, only I have 2 mails from them, confirmation and the package is in process. I live in Birmingham
Cheers.

I've got an email from FedEx that my package is supposed to be delivered by monday. Yet no email from Carmina.

Just received my Carmina made to order cap toe derby. Unfortunately, I did not get my name on the lining, though I ordered it. Also, I ordered the shoes in size 11 EEE on the rain last, but neither the box nor the lining indicates the EEE width. Is that typical, or did they send me a regular size 11? They do feel extremely tight compared to my EEE AE Hopkinsons, and the Carmina shoe trees I got with them (labeled as 11s) fit tight in the shoes...

I have a pair in rain EEE and it does not indicate the width.

It is an EEE though. It isn't apparent on first wear but the instep area is a give away. I had an open V lacing over the instep on normal width but closed up on the EEE pair.

I ordered two different wholecuts in EEE One is stamped EEE and came in a box so indicating its width.The other did not. They are the same.

I have a wider foot and in carmina the only last that fits well is the inca. the robert fits OK but i wouldn't say it fits well. considering a chukka boot in detroit which I've read is wide. should I go the same size as the inca or size down 0.5?

They made modifications on the fit of the "new" Rayder last, the Rayder is actually quite old. I don't know of any Carmina retailer that stocks it yet. You should probably reach out to them directly for the best answer.

Thanks. Guess I'll have to hope it's right and that they wear in!
