Dress boots from Carmina Shoemakers

I acquired this beautiful pair of austerity brogue dress boots from Carmina Shoemaker as part of an Made To Order group.
The boot is made on the sleek Alcudia last; single leather soles; and four pairs of speed hooks.

The boot is quite suitable for interchanging with the usual black Oxfords during the colder months; for office attire and for the formal daywear - stroller and morning suit.

I find the boots quite comfortable; the support and warmth to the ancles is soothing,even though for comfort I still prefer regular Oxfords and spats.

To me the boot looks especially elegant when worn with trousers with turnups.
