Mr John Loake
Mr Thomas Loake
Mr William Loake
The Loake family has been making traditional English shoes for longer than anyone can remember.
My great-grandfather John opened the first Loake factory with his brothers, Thomas and William,
back in 1880. 135 years later, with the fifth generation involved in the business,
the Loake association with fine, handmade shoes lives on.
As the current custodians of Loake, we are immensely proud of the commitment of our forefathers
and the tradition they worked so hard to establish - and our premium grade Goodyear welted shoes
continue to be made in Kettering, England, in the factory that the three brothers built in 1894.
The Goodyear welted construction for which we are renowned is an intricate process with
origins going back over 300 years. Only the very highest quality materials are used and each pair
takes eight weeks to make. We still believe that there is no finer way to make a gentlemens shoe.
We estimate that we have made over 50 million pairs of Goodyear welted shoes
since we began. We now export to more than 60 countries and have become a firm favourite
with discerning customers worldwide. Our aim is to uphold this tradition and continue
making the most handsome, comfortable and durable footwear we can, and to make high quality,
Goodyear welted shoes available and affordable to everyone.
Of course, things move on. Alongside our English Goodyear welted footwear we now
design and produce a range of shoes outside the UK, using a variety of constructions.
This enables us to offer a complete wardrobe of shoes suitable for almost every occasion.

We are equally obsessive about the quality of the materials that we use.
Only the finest grade leathers are chosen to ensure both the finish and the comfort
of your Loake footwear.
All of the shoes in the Loake1880 and LoakeShoemakers ranges are still made in England and
they have become a firm favourite with discerning customers all over the world.

This premium range emulates the way the company first manufactured its fine, handmade shoes
more than 130 years ago. Combining bench-made shoemaking techniques with the highest quality
materials, this is a collection to which many shoemakers can only aspire. Loake1880 shoes are
examples of Goodyear Welted footwear at its finest, and are made in our Northamptonshire factory.

Break Out of the Breaking In.
Loake Evolution combines the classic
styling and traditional manufacturing
methods for which Loake is renowned
with the instant wearability of modern
footwear. This is achieved through the
use of a new system of construction which

previously unavailable in a Goodyear

With proper maintenance and attention, your Loake shoes will retain their excellent
appearance and comfort in wear for years to come.
Leather is a natural product and your shoes will benefit if the following recommedations are observed:
5. Your shoes will benefit from regular use of a good
quality cream or wax polish. This helps moisturise
the leather, as well as prevent cracking and
excessive creasing.
We are delighted to offer a full repair service at our Kettering factory. All our Goodyear welted shoes
(including rubber-soled) are designed to be repairable and our expert craftsmen will resole the shoes
on the original lasts. Moccasins can also be repaired with leather or rubber soles.
The service, which can normally be completed within 21 working days, includes a full refurbishing
treatment. Customers should return their shoes to the shop where they were purchased to arrange
the repair, or alternatively send them direct to the factory.
