The Carmina Summer Sale 2026 is live, and this time around, the offer is even stronger than past sales. Carmina is offering 25% off select models, with around 100 options for men and 77 options for women, making this one of the larger Carmina sales we have seen in recent times.
As always with Carmina, there is a strong mix of styles to dig through. You will find loafers, oxfords, derbies, boots, monk straps, braided styles, suede models, museum calf options, and plenty of classics for those looking to fill a more traditional gap in the wardrobe. And, of course, there are always a few more unique pairs in there for those of us who like something a bit different.
The men’s section alone has around 100 options, which is a healthy amount to peruse. I saw tassel loafers, balmoral boots, austerity brogues, Belgian loafers, braided slippers, Chelsea boots, cap-toe oxfords, Chromexcel boots, and plenty more. The selection also includes a broad range of lasts and leathers, which is always helpful when trying to find the right combination of fit, style, and material.
For the women’s side, there are around 77 options, which is also a pretty solid offering. Carmina’s women’s collection often gets overlooked by the men’s shoe world, but they make some lovely models there too, from loafers and oxfords to boots and heeled styles. So, if you are already stocked up, maybe this is one to share with your significant other instead.
What I like about this sale is that there is a little something for everyone. There is a nice amount of suede, which is always appealing for summer, alongside lighter, more casual styles and some of Carmina’s more interesting color and leather combinations. The braided loafers always catch my eye, as do the suede loafers and museum calf models. Those are the types of shoes that feel especially nice to pick up on discount, as they are often a bit more expressive than your standard black cap-toe oxford.
That said, there are a ton of classics available too. And that is always important for those who don’t steer too far outside the realm of conservative dress. Not everyone is looking for a bold pair of summer loafers or a unique leather combination. Sometimes the best sale purchase is simply a well-made pair of black oxfords, brown derbies, or a versatile boot that you know you will wear for years. And the sale is always a great time to grab those!
For those new to Carmina, they are one of Spain’s most respected shoemakers and has long been a favorite among welted footwear enthusiasts. They offer a strong mix of classic styling, interesting leathers, and a wide range of lasts, which is part of what makes their catalog so deep. The only challenge, as always, is finding the exact model you want in the size you need.
And that is really the main point with any sale like this: do not wait too long. With 25% off and this many models in the mix, the best sizes will not last forever. The sale may look large at first glance, but once you start narrowing by last, size, leather, color, and sole type, the options can shrink quickly.
So, if something catches your eye in the Carmina Summer Sale 2026, I would not overthink it too much. At 25% off, this is a good opportunity to grab a pair from one of Spain’s great shoemakers while the selection is still strong.
