Over 140 Years of English Craftsmanship

Founded in 1880 in Kettering, Northamptonshire, Loake has spent more than 140 years crafting footwear that reflects the best of English shoemaking. Still family owned after five generations, many of its finest shoes continue to be made from the original Wood Street factory built in 1894.

Known for its Goodyear welted construction, Loake creates shoes designed to be worn, resoled, and enjoyed for years. Every pair is built with premium materials, time-honoured techniques, and a commitment to quality that has remained unchanged for generations.
