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

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.

"I purchased this for my own wedding. There is no doubt that a pair of Oxfords is one of the must-have items for the gentleman. The leather is very smooth but the shape and the quality of finish are just like a masterpiece. I now have more shoes in different colours and styles, but I always wear this pair of Oxfords when I have important personal and professional occasions. "

I purchased this for my father because of my own wedding. It was the first very formal shoes to him, and he loves. He wore this pair of oxfords again at my sister's wedding, so the shoes shared the happiest moments of my father. It is always a pleasure to have Herring due to its fantastic and professional service.

This is a beauty. I really like the quality of the leather, the sole, and the overall built. Classic cap toe but looks very elegant, including the color. The delivery is very fast, and thanks for the free shoe cream and shoe horn.
