Massdrop x Carmina Semi-Brogue Oxford
Semi-Brogue Oxfords, Made in Spain
Made in collaboration with Carmina, a fourth-generation shoemaker in Mallorca, Spain, this oxford is an exceptional value in the world of dress shoes. It features the company’s sought-after semi-brogue pattern on a hand-cut calfskin leather upper from France’s famous Tannerie D’Annonay. For a longer-lasting, better-wearing shoe, we chose a sole from Joh. Rendenbach Jr.: a German manufacturer whose oak bark–tanned soles have been a hallmark of the finest footwear since 1871. This oxford is built on Carmina's Rain last, a versatile, natural-fitting last with a subtly squared-off toe. A great pairing for formal outfits, it has enough detail to work well in more casual settings, too.
Note: At checkout, you’ll have your choice of color: black (negro) or brown (marron). Various sizes and widths are available in limited quantities. See the size guide further down this page for more details.
Rendenbach Sole, Goodyear Welt & More
Family owned and operated since 1866, Carmina has a long tradition of skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each pair of this collaboration shoe has a leather midsole, a dovetail heel, and reinforcements at the toe and heel. The Goodyear welt allows the shoes to be resoled time and time again, while the channeled and beveled Rendenbach sole is supremely comfortable—so you can feel every bit as good as you look. And to keep your shoes in top condition, every order includes a pair of Carmina’s red velvet dust bags and sized shoe trees. Designed to help maintain shape, prevent creasing, and promote longevity, the shoe trees also wick moisture (and with it, odor) away from the leather. Made from beechwood, they’re fitted with knobs for easy removal.

The Official Carmina Sizing Thread on StyleForum
"If you want a versatile pair of well-made shoes for a great price, these fit the bill. Honestly, I don't think you can get better value for money in the shoe market for under $500 right now." - Elessar, StyleForum Senior member
"... Carmina still offers some of the very best shoes for the price—even at $450 for calf. Their last shapes, leather quality, and finishing is superb!" - Mr Clemson, StyleForum Senior member
"Short and skinny, these shoes should likely be incredible, especially if oxfords are your style, you value comfort and quality." - StainlessOnly, Massdrop community member
Sizing Information
Length: The sizing options are UK standard lengths. The Rain last (and thus this shoe) fits true to size. See the detailed information on the sizing chart below.
Width: Because widths are less of an accepted standard according to Carmina, we have worked closely to determine the appropriate representation of the widths available. There are three widths at checkout, narrow, standard, and wide. For US customers, this translates to C, D, and E. If you’re an EE or an EEE width in American brands, this drop unfortunately isn’t for you. Each additional width level adds 3.18mm to the width of the shoe at its widest point.
