The Loake family has been producing
fine, handmade men’s footwear for longer
than anyone can remember. the tradition
began in 1880, in northamptonshire in the
heart of the english shoemaking industry.
the aim was to provide the most handsome,
comfortable and durable gentlemen’s shoes
possible.
today, more than 125 years and five
generations later, loake is still operating
in the same town in northamptonshire.
our shoes have become a favorite with
discerning customers worldwide and are
exported to over 30 countries.
loake is most famous for its Goodyear
Welted footwear, an intricate construction
with origins that can be traced back over
300 years. We estimate we have made over
50 million pairs.
our premium Goodyear Welted shoes
continue to be made in england and take
eight weeks to produce. approximately 200
different operations are involved. only the
very highest quality materials are used.
While we remain passionate about the
quality, we also place special emphasis on
fit and have developed our own unique
comfort technology.
our modern outlook can also be seen
in a number of recent collaborations,
including the remake of an iconic shoe for
international sports brand Puma.
loake was awarded a royal Warrant of
appointment to the Queen in 2007.

What Makes a Great Natural Shoulder
Store Great?
For instance, take Cable Car Clothiers.
suiting the great minority has been our
major reason for being ever since our
humble beginning back in 1939.
Men who cherish their individuality have
discovered us. they know, for one thing,
that we take pride in their appearance. We
will not carry anything we don’t believe in,
even though there may be a demand for it.
it must measure up to our understanding
of good taste.
but perhaps just as important is our
understanding of people . . . our love of
people. that is why we know what you want,
very often, even before you do. Pleasing our
customer is our most important business
and has been for almost three-quarter of a
century.
