Lining	Quilt Lining	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.
Sole	Hard Leather sole	Soles and Heels 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	Leather	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.

Hand made in England using only the finest materials, the Herring Marquis is a classic velvet slipper. Often referred to as the Albert (after Queen Victoria’s consort) they were originally regarded as house shoes by the English. They became suitable footwear for pairing with dinner jackets at home or at ones club, and remain so today. They’re also credited with being a forebear of the loafer, or at least helping towards its social acceptance. You can tell a lot about someone’s attitude to dress by what goes on behind closed doors. We can all put on a good display in public, but when no one’s looking that’s when we learn the truth.

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.

Customer product reviews:

"I bought these shoes as a more comfortable alternative to formal shoes. I have to say they are perfect! The velvet is a great quality and the quilted lining is both warm and comfortable. I particularly like that the lining is thick and soft enough that socks are not required! I would suggest ordering half a size lower as the pair I have run a tad large, but they’re still very wearable and don’t cause any discomfort. I highly recommend! Get these shoes ASAP!!"
