Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

Agrajag, they look great, they'd be keepers for me. You'll love em

BTW what size are they?

 

[Mr Clemson]

I realize that I'm on the Carmina thread (and I love Carmina), but will you give me your preferences of the Carmina navy suede longwing vs the Alden suede longwing (barrie last)? I just ordered blue suede longwings from Alden NYC, and a day later skoaktiebolaget releases the ones above! How different is the blue color and the fit of the lasts? I can send the Aldens back, but I wouldn't do so with the Carmina version due to shipping costs. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know where to buy shell cordovan belts? I'm looking to get ruby, saddle, and cigar colors. They're so difficult to find. Carmina also does not make cordovan belts in these colors

Thx

Rancourt & Co. makes them. You can get caramel (natural), navy, color 8, espresso (dark brown), and I think green.

Carmina Workhorse Chelsea in Brown Calf:



Available in store and online now.

These are amazing! Any chance of ever carrying the same model but in black?

Where did you buy them from?

I can't really imagine a scenario where I am able to walk all the way to the post office with them. I did actually ask for return instructions, and even packed them up before I went to sleep couple of days ago. I unpacked them again immediately after coming home from work the next day.

They're size 7UK.

They sure do.

Pelikamo. As you can see on their site they offer free shipping anywhere. The part about costums is only partially true though, they added the difference in Norwegian and Swiss VAT at checkout. Still very good costumer service, and they do have them in brown as well.

Agrajag - terrific choice - a snuff suede chukka is on my gottta-have-it list.

The material on the side of this boot looks as if it comes way too close to the sole.

I dunno - more or less standard for a Chelsea, I'd say. This angle shows it a bit better:

Are we talking about the stormwelt? If so, I don't mind it. My plan is to eventually get a pair of black Chelsea boots with danite sole to use as another pair of rain boots, so the stormwelt works for me. I enjoy that they are on the Soller last as well.

That makes it look much better, RP.

No, I was referring to the elastic material on the side of the shoe. It looked like it came down very close to the sole on the other picture.

IMO, I don't think it would be practical to use a pair of Chelsea boots for rainy days, the elastic section wouldn't keep much water out.

Not Carminas but I wear these all the time in the rain -- never a problem.

Sorry, not any plans, but we do have a Chelsea in Black on the Simpson last (but it's very low in stock).
