Work Boots 861

The boot was designed as part of Carmina's work-inspired heritage collection, combining traditional construction methods with contemporary customization capabilities. Priced at $1,035.00 as of 2025, the Work Boots 861 exemplifies the company's approach to made-to-order footwear.

The Work Boots 861 features Goodyear welted construction, using techniques conceived by Charles Goodyear Jr. in 1869. This construction method allows the boot to be resoled and pairs well with thick leather and rubber sole options. The Oscar last provides the boot's foundational shape and fit characteristics.

The model is built on Carmina's Oscar last, which features a subtly rounded toe, low instep, and standard fit. The last is described as sturdy and classic with a wide toe area, working particularly well for Horween Shell Cordovan shoes and ankle boots. Sizing recommendations suggest ordering true to size, approximately one size down from Brannock measurements.

The Work Boots 861 is available through Carmina's made-to-order program, which includes over 100 different leather options. Available leathers include Boxcalf, Cordovan, Vegano, Museum, Suede, Chromexcel, and exotic leathers. The customization program offers eight medallion styles and allows modifications to multiple components including the toe, vamp, heel, counter, lining, sole, edge, eyelets, shoelaces, stitching, and buckles. Linings can include handwritten inscriptions for personalization.

Sole options include Dainite-rubber, York, Tomir, Commando, and oak bark tanned Rendenbach leather soles. Made-to-order delivery typically requires approximately 75 days after the preorder date closes. Products modified at the customer's request through the made-to-order program cannot be returned or exchanged.
