LOAKE

The Loake family has been producing fine, handmade men's footwear for longer than anyone can remember.

The tradition began in 1880, when three brothers - Thomas, John and William - opened a factory 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 family owned and operating in the same town in Northamptonshire. There shoes have become a favourite with discerning customers worldwide and are exported to over 30 countries.
