Those lizard skin shoes are great. I checked the Unipair website and, unfortunately, they are on the Simpson last. Not going to work for me.

Simpson last doesn't work for me either. Dang high instep
Is Simpson really that narrow of a last? Or just narrow compared to rain, which is wide?

Hi all, 1st post here. Just wanted to report I came back on a weekend trip to Paris for rugby, and got myself my 2nd pair of Carmina's, and ordered the 3rd. Which has to be made in Mallorca by month-end hopefully. A 905 Simpson in an incredible Shell Burdeos colour. Will try to post pics when I get them...
But what I liked the best, is that luckily I was carrying my 1st pair bought in BCN one year ago, Black Shell 905 simpson boot (yes, same as what I just ordered but another colour, love that model, for business and casual), and they were in an not so OK state due to german weather last week... Well anyway, Luis, The manager there, even on a saturday afternoon and half-busy shop, took almost a good half an hour to show me in spanish how to take care of them. He let them go through the machine to remove minor scratches, and showed me how to first clean them, then gently apply the brush with the cordovan cream, polishing them with wax, then with a stocking, and spray Lanolin on them.. After all that they were looking even better that the ones on display. Of course, he also used the chance to show potential customers how 1 year old shell can look like.. but nevertheless great service. Happy customer
Oriol, welcome here! (well, I'm sort of new as well X) )
Would you mind showing us a photo or two of your black Shell, "officially renovated" by the Carmina's manager in Paris? And what sort of machine is it he used to remove scratch for your shell?
Would very much interested to see how they turned out.
Lovely, apart from the inevitable crease they look much like new!Sure, they already have a day on them, but to me they look again like new. Wore them in average 1 day/week over last year.
I cannot tell which machine he used, as for this he took them backstage. Initially he said just with a 1st hard brushing is enough, but when he found the scratches, he went just for a min. away.
"Oficially renovated" may be overstating it though , he just wanted to show me how to take good care of them. I guess if I ship them in, or let them overnight, re-soling and so on, that is another story, this took 20-25 min. at most.
I will talk to our director about ordering that model again as it is quite popular. Rain? Forest?
