Okay, so I love this makeup that Skoak has going on. Just gorgeous to my eyes. But I can't envision exactly how I would wear them, as I generally don't wear lighter coloured footwear during the fall / winter months where tall boots are seasonally appropriate. Any suggestions on how these might be paired?

Wow, they look sooooo much better in your pics than they do on farfetch. Congrats! Did they ship in a Carmina box and can you confirm the last?


Yes, rain. I had to send them back as I don't think Rain works for me at all - heel slippage vastly understated how loose they were in back. Maybe I should try a 9.5 but it seems weird to need a 9.5 when I am usually 10 or 10.5 in the case of EG or GG. 10 didn't work for me in Uetam, but in the wrong direction - wanted to try a 10.5 but the Armoury didn't have them

Interested on ideas as well. I'm awaiting an MTO in gray suede... I'm thinking colored trous (navy/dark red/caramel) and the top half would be a slightly darker version of gray or light colors... not too dark though, just enough to differentiate it from the shoes.

UG thanks - the PTB version is very handsome as well.


Thanks, gents!

They came in the usual Carmina box with bags and the standard foam and red paper/black straws combo in the shoes. The box is marked model 922 and Rain. I know someone else on the forum ordered a pair with a description on Farfetch that included one model number but got a shoe on a different last. In my case, the model number on Farfetch matched Carmina's.

Austerity Brogues from yesterday- they're not this dark in real life, I had an HDR setting "on" on my camera.

Very nice. Are these from us? I have not seen any other retailers stocking them in an antiqued version.

Hey guys, quick question:

I currently own one pair of Carminas, a pair of balmorals (Ellison) on the Rain last. These fit beautifully. Would you recommend going for the same size on the Forest?

I'm currently looking at Skoak's CXL brogue boot.
