Inside Carmina: 6 Generations of Shoemaking
mercredi 3 décembre 2025 • Durée 01:18:07
In this episode of the Full Grain Podcast, we sit down with Carmina Albaladejo from the legendary Mallorcan brand, Carmina Shoemaker. With a history spanning six generations, Carmina has set the gold standard for high-quality footwear, but they aren't stuck in the past.
We dive deep into how the family business started, the specific differences between constructing men’s and women’s welted footwear, and how they are using modern 3D scanning technology to make bespoke sizing accessible to everyone. If you’ve ever struggled with sizing or wanted to know what really goes into a $500+ pair of shoes, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we cover:
The 150-year history of the Albaladejo family.
The technical differences between men's and women's shoe construction.
How to actually get properly sized for dress shoes.
Carmina’s new 3D bespoke technology.
Why "Made in Spain" matters in 2025.
