  1. Anybody has the 710 and the 511 cuts in the same size? Do you take the same size in both? I'm kinda confused with the measurement charts from different online retailers.

    From Blow Owl, it seems like the 511 has more room in the thighs than the 710 with a stronger taper while from Okayama Denim measurements 511 and 710 have the same thighs but 511 has a stronger taper. Which one is right?

    Thank you, 

     

  2. depends on who made it for herring (a retailer). loake manufacture the bits of their shoes outside of the united kingdom (india, or at least it was when i read some article on it a few months ago) and then assemble them here. cheaney also make shoes for herring, and i believe that their shoes are all still made in northampton.

    cheaney used to be a division of church's, who are now owned by the italian firm, prada, but still make shoes in england apart from some of their mocassin models, which have been made for church's in italy long before they were bought by the italians. cheaney, as a division of church's, was recently bought back by the church brothers who now have nothing to do (as far as i know) with the brand originally named for their forbears. confused?

    lol, kinda confused, i understand what you mean that the bits of the shoes produced by loake are made in india but in the description of the Herring Hampstead (http://www.herringshoes.co.uk/product-info.php?&brandid=6&shoeid=453) it's written that it's hanmade in Northamptonshire. Does that mean that it's only assembled in Northampton or completely made there?

    Thanks

  3. The Herring shoe is a re-branded Loake, I believe, and you'd be better off spending a few more quid to get a similar shoe from Cheaney which will at least be properly English-made. Cheaney also make shoes for Herring at a slightly higher price point.

    Never owned a pair of Allen Edmonds but have handled a few worn pairs and they seemed solid enough, although not to my personal taste.

    Thanks but i don't understand what do you mean when you say that Herring shoes won't be properly English-made?

  4. Hello, I'm looking for my first pair of nice shoes and I came accross these Herring (http://www.herringsh...id=6&shoeid=453). I really like the look of them and they are in my budget.

    Being a newb I was just wondering if they are a good shoes for the price and how they compare to allen edmonds stand ? (http://www.onlinesho...calf-p_id158734)

    Which one would you choose? Is there a better options in the same price range ?

    Thank you
