The Herring Windsor slipper in Navy velvet with embroidered Union Jack is a whole cut slipper made from one single piece of Velvet, with a traditional square tongue. Often referred to as the Albert (after Queen Victoria`s consort), they were originally regarded as house shoes by the English. They became acceptable footwear for wearing with dinner jackets at home or at ones club, and remain so today. They`re also credited with being a forebear of the loafer, or at least helping towards its social acceptance. Fit for a King or the man with an appreciation of the finer things in life.
