Loake Shoemakers

Started by three brothers John, William, and Thomas, the Loake family business has been making traditional shoes in Northamptonshire, England since 1880. Today, 140 years later, our legacy as manufacturers of fine footwear lives on. From the design bench to the finishing room, each pair of Loake shoes is carefully crafted with an uncompromising attention-to-detail and infused with the individual flair, personality, and magic of our dedicated makers. The famous Goodyear construction for which we are known is a traditional and intricate process, with origins that can be traced back over 300 years. Each pair takes up to 8 weeks to produce. Despite our notable heritage however, Loake is very much a forward-looking company. From championing high quality materials and constructions that are built-to-last, to offering expert shoe care advice and an in-house repairs service, we strongly believe if you look after your shoes, theyll look after you.
