Our history

Over the years Herring Shoes have built close relationships with many of the Northampton manufacturers working directly with Mr Andrew Loake, William Barker and Jonathan and William Church.

The son of the founder of Herring Shoes, Adrian Herring worked in the Barker factory for a period to learn in detail the construction and craft of English handmade shoes.

Through these contacts we launched our own range of footwear made for us by Northamptonshire factories including Barker, Cheaney, Loake, Trickers and Alfred Sargent. Alongside other specialist factories around the world we use the best manufacturer for each style of shoe we create and pass the benefit of our knowledge and experience on to the customer.

Our Products

The Herring range is made to the exact needs of our customers and by working direct with the factories we have the opportunity to create our own individual designs and styles which set us and our customers apart from the crowd. Our main drive is to offer outstanding quality and service by using our direct connections with the factories.
