Plympton is a gorgeous chukka style boot. As you would expect from Herring, it is made on a repairable Goodyear-welted sole that uses genuine Dainite rubber and the uppers use the finest leathers. The black makes this a highly desirable workwear option that loses the formality of a plain shoe. 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 but we may be able to get them re-finished at the factory for you at your cost.
