Upper Calf Leather  
Lining Full Leather help

Lining

The Lining is the material used on the inside of the shoes which rests against the foot during wear.

Full Leather lining
This is regarded as the best finish to have, the complete interior of the shoe is lined with leather which gives comfort & absorbs the moisture given off from the foot during wear.

1/2 Leather lining
The fore part of the shoe has a cotton or linen lining & from the waist of the shoe back to the heel is leather.

Heel Rubber Heel help

Soles and Heels

Goodyear welted leather sole
This is what Northampton manufactures are traditionally known for. The sole is stitched to a welt which means the shoe gives great comfort & excellent shape retention.
Welted Rubber soles
This is similar to the “Goodyear welted Leather sole” construction except the sole material is Rubber giving harder wear & better water resistant properties.
Leather Sole Rubber Fore Part
This gives all the benefits of a leather sole but the added flexibility & durability of a rubber fore part.
Cemented Leather Sole
A construction using specialised adhesives in place of stitched welts to bond the upper to the sole. This gives lightness in weight & appearance that the welted construction cannot.
Moccasin Construction
This provides a very light flexible & comfortable shoe. A bag of Leather is formed by Hand stitching an apron & the sole is then stitched or glued to the upper.

close
Last 53F help

Last

The LAST is the foot shape that the shoe uppers are pulled over & secured on during manufacturing to obtain the shape. The lasts are given numbers or names to denote their individual characteristics such as toe shape & depth etc. Traditional Lasts are made from wood but now more commonly plastic ones are used these days.

Size chart

Shoes that are made to fit the same size foot will vary in physical size due to differences in last (shoe) shapes. For this reason we cannot measure shoes to fit your feet.

This is a size guide based on our experiences working with customers from all over the world. Although we are confident of it's accuracy, there can be anomalies and for this reason we cannot guarantee the conversion will always be correct.

Please note that F is the normal width fitting. if you do not usually buy wider fitting shoes and you don’t struggle buying off the shelf shoes that fit you, please order F fitting. If you do have wider feet and find you often need to size up to get the width right, then G would be more suitable as they are 3-5mm wider without the added length.

"It's been a year since I got this beautiful and classic pair of loafers, ideal for almost all seasons here in Greece, except for the hot days of summer. Great fit as well. I am very satisfied with them, so I am confident I will order my second pair of Herring shoes asap. That being said, there is a thing or two about the shoes that I am not particularly happy with. First of all, one of the tassels wasn't properly glued, so the glue is actually visible from the height of my eyes; it looks like a silverish white little marble in a brown leather cage. It's not overexposed, but can be seen indeed, and it's not just me. I don't know how to fix this, so I haven't done a thing. I guess I got unlucky with this slight defect. Secondly, keeping in mind that I only put the loafers on approximately twice a week, mostly in autumn and spring, I think the wear of the soles is too excessive for less than a year's use. The wear is visible when I walk, since it covers the lower forefront of the shoe. I suppose there are ways to take care of the sole in general, but it seems I can't do much about this kind of wear; it's not a matter of mere discolouration, and I always clean the soles before putting the loafers back into their box. I am very, very careful with my shoes in general, doing more than my best to keep them in the best of shapes. It was one of the best online shoe purchases I've made so far, and the problems I have mentioned have not weakened my trust -and loyalty- in Herring. Looking forward to my next pair!"
