I am interested in buying a pair of Carminas in the rain last. My feet run very small around 5.5uk. Tried the inca last at the store and it seems fine (little toe is touching a bit, width at ball of feet is comfortable,with no heel slippage). I am worried about that 5.5uk will be too tight after a bit of walking. Size 6uk has a bit of heel slippage (but maybe it's cause of the stiff sole?)

What do you guys think of the sizing?

If i order the wrong size online, has anyone exchanged sizes at the store? Or did you ship it back (if so how much was the shipping).

Please and thank you!

If the shoe fits well when you first try it, it should fit you after a few wears as well.

Shipping to Spain is quite expensive the last time i checked.

Not sure about Carmina but in my exp GYW shoes stretch a little and become much more comfortable after being broken in.

I usually aim for something that fits snug (not tight).

Do note rain last tapers quite abit at the top and has a higher instep. Inca is closer to Forest last imo.

EEA/LLYR/Josh follow the more traditional schools of shoe craft. Which is to say generally welted footwear with a focus on premium materials and more subtle styling.

Wizard guys seems to focus more on flashy fashion forward shoes. Louder designs and from what I see, mostly cemented/blake construction.

Cant really compare. both very different animals
