Herring Byron is fashioned on a bespoke looking last shape which creates a very distinguished and elegant shoe. Whether you are adding a dash of style to an office outfit or dressing up a casual weekend look, Byron makes a versatile and sophisticated addition to your wardrobe. The leather sole is Goodyear welted and can be repaired in the factory. These shoes are hand-patinated individually in the Carlos Santos factory so there can be a noticeable variation of colour from the shoes you receive to the picture on the website. We always strive to get consistency but in a hand-finished product this is not always possible and is a sign of quality. Please note that we would only advise using a gentle wax-based cream or polish to protect carefully hand-finished shoes such as these. Harsh products such as renovating creams, high solvent based products and rain protectors may strip the carefully applied finish. If this happens we will not be able to refund the shoes although we may be able to get them re-finished at the factory for you at your cost.
