Loake Shoes at Oi Polloi

Loake was founded in 1880 in Kettering, Northamptonshire, by three brothers, Thomas, John and William. Loake are so committed to quality that their premium grade Goodyear welted shoes continue to be handmade in the same factory that the three brothers built in 1894.
 
A pair of Goodyear Welted Loake shoes can take up to eight weeks to make, as some 130 skilled craftsmen, up to 75 shoe parts and over 200 different operations are involved.
 
A testament to Loake’s impeccably high standards came in 2007, when they were granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen.
 
A variety of Loake shoes are available now at Oi Polloi.
