I really like the fur lined Carmina boot, but the color came in a tad lighter and more orange than what I wanted. Not a major change, but dark brown Saphir to the rescue...

I think there's a quute big difference and I like the end result more. Really nice work, it's not easy to get such a even polish on grain leather.

incredible shoes, i love the color and design. i am looking into a pair right now but i have very specific shoe requirements, not only are they big they are flat.

Do you have to size up for fur lines shoes? Or are they made slightly larger in order to compensate for the space the fur takes up

They compensate for it. I went with my usual Rain/Soller size.

Thanks guys. I made sure to test and practice on the tongue first. It was a pretty quick on and off. A brush helped to get it in the grain evenly before the cream dried.

I just ordered these bad boys from Skoat! This will be my first pair of Balmoral Boots, my first pair of Cordovan, and my first pair of Carmina. I figured I'd conquer all three in one giant swoop! Oh and R.I.P. to my other dress shoes LoL, my wallet, and my relationship with my wife.
