Loake handmade shoes are known all over the world as an English brand with a long-lasting history. Established in 1880 in the UK as a family business, the factory has provided more than 5 generations with high-quality footwear. During the Second World War, they supplied the British naval and air forces with 2,500 pairs of boots a week. In gratitude for all of their services, Loake was appointed with the Royal Warrant. We’re so proud to be able to claim Loake as part of our collection here in Birmingham.
Nowadays the Loake company carries on the bespoke handmade-shoemaking tradition that was started by its founders. The factory occupies the same space as it did 135 years ago, and it still takes 8 weeks to make each pair of shoes, so you can be assured their products are of high quality. That said, the equipment is upgraded all the time and new technologies are, of course, successfully integrated into the manufacturing process. Their shoes range from Brogues to Moccasins and boots.
