#rubishell

Since I have owned couple of calf shoes but never a cordovan shell, I guess it is a good time for me to get one. For me, there is only one shoemaker which I will get my cordovan shell shoe from, Carmina. During the point of time I am thinking of either a wholecut or a semi brogue. From carmina online store, the only wholecut available are RAIN last but I wanted to try on their renowned simpson last, so when the rubi cordovan shell semi brogue restock with my size, it become a natural choice. Actually I have seen it in the wild in carmina thread and I now I have to own it. Little did I know it comes so fast!

Carmina Simpson last side by side with Vass U last

I love this picture showing both simpson and U last chiseled toe. Vass look more muscular in this picture because of the double tapering to single sole (HAF)
