Mr Herbert's made handmade (basically haute couture) shoes for women with unusually shaped feet in the 1920s. At some point top couture shoe designers started producing shoes under his name. In the 1950s and 1960s movie stars were wearing his shoes, from Marilyn Monroe to Mae West. I patched together this info from a ton of research based in snippets of information here and there. Rao Koury was a well known designer, that apparently handmade shoes from the 40s - the 60s under various brands.
