With years and cream they star to take an intersting patina.

Does anyone recall the last of the suede string loafer sold by Epaulet a bit ago?

I realize this is a shot in the dark.

Anybody have a recommended shoe tree they use for their Carmina shoes? I purchased the ones they sell on their website but they don't seem to fill the vamp at all, which in turn doesn't help the creasing. Help?

I think you bought a smaller size, because my carmina shoes fits overall very well. They seem even almost lasted.

Normally I wear size 8.5. They advise that if you are 8or 8.5 you buy shoe tree size 8. If you buy let say 7 it will be a bit small.

Didn't buy a size small...my shoes are size 7 and the trees say 7 on them. There's just no upward support at the mid-vamp area to help flatten out the creasing.

Can someone please offer any information on Soller last sizing? ........ How does it compare to Oscar and Rain lasts. Do you size down half a size as some people are saying? I'm told there is no fixed rule so if someone with experience with the Soller last could give some help that would be great....... thanks.

Although Soller is considered to be 'E' wide according to Carmina last info page...
http://www.carminashoemaker.com/about-last
I find Soller slightly longer and wider than any other Carmina lasts (Detroit being the only exception)
I have a semi wide feet and I size down half from my Rain/Foest/Oscar sizing for both Soller and Detroit
