Hey guys, been lusting after a pair of loafers from Carmina. Lets get this GMTO going!

This MTO would be done through Skoak.

Model: Carmina Full strap penny loafer
Last: Uetam
Leather: Natur Marron
Sole: Single leather brown sole
Lining: Whiskey

I could get down with these, had thoughts of getting them next spring.

I could be convinced as long as no split toe AND a rounder, more versatile less narrow last than Uetam like Forest or Rain? Also I like a high vamp; does this show have a high vamp?

@mockingboy
in fact i actually tried to purchase a pair of loafers in the same exact makeup mentioned above without the full strap, payment didn't go through thankfully.

Carmina does the full strap in a way no other brands do. The curve of the strap is simply stunning.

Here's a comparison of the side profiles of half vs. full straps

Maiden voyage with the wholecuts! Light polish on the toe with Saphir really brought out the shine!

Here's a few quick pics of my new pair of Carminas (GMTO). One under office light where it looks really deep brown and others under the lights at home where it becomes a brighter brown. First pair on the Robert last and fits great!! Will see how it works out as I break it in around the house.

Hey Mike, I've tried the Rain last and it does not fit me well at all.

I'm assuming this applies to the Forest last as well since Uetam and Simpson fits me the best.

Not sure about the vamp part, maybe someone else could help?

 

[mockingboy]

Uetam it is I guess.

Can anyone help me with size on this? How do you adjust for the Uetam and anyon ehave side bys ides of Uetam with other lasts?

I wear a UK 9/9.5E in Edward Green 202, 10 in Alden Barrie and 9 UK in Rain?

Thanks,
Mike

Fantastic boot IronStyle - one of my faves. Don't know why I don't own three different versions of that. Terrific value in a quality bal boot.

Yours were the inspiration for this GMTO sir.

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.
