About Loake

Loake has been making shoes in Kettering, Northamptonshire since 1880, when brothers John, Thomas and William Loake founded the company. It's still family-owned, and much of the range is produced at the same Wood Street factory built in 1894, using Goodyear welted construction. Loake also runs an English-specification factory in India, with all design and development done in Britain and the country of origin marked on every pair. The range covers brogues, derby shoes, trainers and driving shoes, alongside the premium Loake 1880 collection, fully welted and hand-finished. In 2007 Loake received a Royal Warrant as footwear supplier to the Royal Household.
