Challenging times can also be the most thought-provoking. Often, it’s when we have the chance to stop, to reflect, that our best ideas happen. Many of them will pass by without being noticed, but if you’re looking, a moment’s inspiration can lead to a lifetime’s legacy.

Challenging time can also be the most thought-provoking. Often, its’s when we have the chance to stop, to reflect, that our best ideas happen. Many of them will pass by without being noticed, but if you’re looking, a moment’s inspiration can lead to a lifetime’s legacy.

In every artist, whatever their craft, you’ll find the same thing – it’s the need to create something new. That’s why, when that moment comes, they grab it with both hands, with just one goal – to bring it to life.

An ode to design, craftsmanship and attention-to-detail, the Loake Artist Collection celebrates creativity and artistry.

Built on the new F-fitting ‘Artist’ Last, shoes in this contemporary Goodyear Welted range offer a sleek profile and feature green ‘distressed’ leather soles with a quarter rubber tip, however, the true beauty of these shoes is in the way they are finished…
Beginning with a blank canvas of natural leather, our master craftsmen carefully apply each brush stroke of colour by hand, building to a rich patina and ensuring each and every pair is truly unique in character.

With great art you just know it when you see it…
