Loake

Developed as a higher-tier range built on Loake 1880, the brand’s official materials position it as a line that maintains the same standards as the existing 1880 label while increasing manufacturing precision and attention to finishing details. It is characterized by selected calf leather and hand-finishing, and, in contrast to the traditional staples of 1880 Classic, represents the highest manufacturing standard among Loake’s ready-to-wear shoes.

The core collection, named after the year Loake was founded, represents the brand’s traditional Goodyear welt construction and British-made shoemaking. Centered on classic designs, high-quality calf leather, and production at a factory in Northamptonshire, it is positioned as the line that defines Loake’s tradition, distinct from Professional, which serves formal occasions; Design, with a more contemporary aesthetic; and the casual Lifestyle line.

A collection that applies Loake 1880’s traditional shoemaking techniques to footwear intended for wear in suburban and outdoor settings.
