Loake is a family shoemaking company from Kettering in Northamptonshire, founded by the Loake brothers in 1880. Northamptonshire is considered the home of classic English footwear, and Loake is one of the region's best-known makers. Loake.com sells men's Oxfords, Derbies, brogues, loafers, Chelsea and chukka boots, desert boots, as well as shoe care products: creams, brushes and shoe trees.
Why lovers of the classics value Loake
Loake's flagship 1880 range is made with Goodyear welted construction, so these shoes can be resoled and worn for many years. At the same time, prices are noticeably lower than at many other English factories, which is why Loake is often recommended as a first pair of quality shoes. Sizes are British, and width is marked with letters, most often F or G, so check the size chart and the last description carefully. Seasonal discounts and sales on selected styles are a good chance to buy shoes from the UK for less.
How to get Loake shoes in Ukraine
Sign up for Pokupka and get the address of our UK warehouse in your account. At checkout on the Loake website, enter this address and pay by card. We receive the box at the warehouse and ship it to Ukraine, to a branch or to your address. Leather shoes are best shipped in their original box: that way they do not get deformed in transit, and the toes and heels keep their shape.
