My favorite brand for dress shoes and boots, Carmina stand out for having dozens of different lasts to fit any foot or occasion, and for making footwear that's Goodyear welted but slim, flexible, and formal. There are also plenty of loafers if you want something more casual though — you just need to pick a wider last and you're set!
