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

Sole	Goodyear Welted Leather sole	Soles and Heels The Lining is the material used on the inside of the shoes which rests against the foot during wear.

Heel	Leather 1/4 Rubber Tip	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.
Last	Z160 Last / elongated	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.

Herring Shakespeare is a gorgeous double buckle monk shoe on a bespoke looking last shape that makes it look very distinguished and elegant. This is a shoe you can wear and be confident that your taste will not be questioned whether you are adding a dash of style to an office outfit or dressing up a casual weekend look. The leather sole is Goodyear welted. This item is a CUSTOMER RETURN. CUSTOMER RETURNS are items that are perfect quality but have been returned by a customer. They may have some marks on the sole or a slight crease in the upper. We always want you to get perfect products so we cannot sell them at full price, due to these minor marks. There may also be some slight damage to the packaging. They are new, first quality items at a discount. Please note that customer service staff will not know the exact details of the condition of each factory second. The Z160 last is a very elegant shape with a chiselled toe box giving a bespoke appearance. This is a standard fitting shoe so you can confidently order your normal UK size. Bear in mind that the toe is elongated so it may seem very roomy at the front but this does not make it too big. It should fit across your foot and your heel should not slip if it is the correct size.

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.
