Founded in 1880 by brothers John, Thomas and William Loake, the brand has been producing traditional English shoes for over 130 years. Loake remains a family-run company, continuing a long-standing commitment to quality materials, careful construction and classic British style. The brand is especially known for its fine leathers and suedes, creating footwear with a polished look, sturdy feel and lasting appeal.
Loake is renowned for its Goodyear welted construction, a traditional method used on many of its most celebrated styles. This intricate process can involve up to 130 craftsmen and 75 individual elements, with a pair of Goodyear welted shoes taking up to eight weeks to complete. The result is footwear with excellent structure, durability and the ability to be resoled, making it a strong choice for anyone who values proper craftsmanship.
