Hand-crafted in Kettering since 1880, Loake shoes are built to polish off everything from board-room suits to black-tie looks. Each pair is Goodyear-welted for longevity and finished by hand. Sam has pulled together his five stand-out styles from our colection; watch his short video below to see the shoes up close and hear his styling tips before you read on.
Loake Cannon Suede Twin Buckle Monk Shoe
The Loake Cannon Suede Twin Buckle Monk Shoe swaps traditional laces for sleek twin buckles and dresses them in velvety brown suede, giving your tailored outfits a rakish twist without tipping into flashiness. Thanks to its leather sole and Goodyear welt, the shoe breaks in quickly yet can be resoled again and again, making it an ideal long-term upgrade to the standard Oxford.
Loake Imperial Suede Penny Loafer
The Loake Imperial Suede Penny Loafer proves that a slip-on can still look razor-sharp: the low-cut vamp, penny strap and neatly stitched apron keep the profile refined while the soft suede adds an easy, off-duty charm. Slide them on with cropped chinos, linen suits or even dark denim.
Loake Hughes Semi-Brogue Shoe
The Loake Hughes Semi-Brogue Shoe takes a classic cap-toe Oxford and spices it up with subtle brogue punches along the seams, striking a balance between board-room formality and weekend flair. Beneath the polished upper sits a leather-and-rubber sole that grips Irish pavements yet stays slim enough to tuck neatly under suit trousers.
Loake Chatsworth Waxed Chelsea Boot
The Loake Chatsworth Waxed Chelsea Boot keeps the Chelsea silhouette clean and minimalist. Pair that with a studded Dainite-style sole and you get a boot that handles countryside strolls yet still slips effortlessly under a suit.
Loake Pimlico Chukka Boot
The Loake Pimlico Chukka Boot sits a touch higher on the ankle than a Derby, delivering extra support and a hint of ruggedness, while its three-eyelet lacing keep things smart enough for the office. A studded rubber sole and full leather lining promise year-round wear, whether you’re teaming them with jeans or a suit.
