Loake Shoemakers

Loake Shoemakers Official account of Loake Shoemakers makers of traditional Men's Footwear. Based in Northamptonshire, England. Timeless Style. Built to Last.
(625)

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 is carefully crafted with an uncompromising attention-to-detail and infused with the individual flair, personalit

y, and magic of our dedicated makers. The famous Goodyear Welted construction for which we are known is an intricate process
with each pair taking up to 8 weeks to produce. We still believe there is no finer way to make a gentleman’s shoe.

Did you know that our leather offcuts are given a second life?

At Loake, we carefully collect and return them to a specialist maker, where they are transformed into durable leather board using natural materials. These are then crafted into components within our shoes, such as heel lifts.

It’s one of the ways we reduce waste while upholding the standard of traditional shoemaking – an ongoing part of the Loake story.
