The Description
The Loake Bow is a premium men’s black patent leather Derby shoe, designed for formal occasions and black-tie events. Built on the Claridge last, it offers a comfortable F fitting with an elegant profile, making it the perfect choice for weddings, galas, and evening wear. Featuring high-quality cemented leather and rubber soles, Bow delivers both refinement and reliable performance. Designed and engineered in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and handmade in Loake’s high-grade factory in India, it reflects the same craftsmanship and attention to detail seen in our Northamptonshire-made shoes. A timeless dress shoe for life’s most important moments.
We recommend using a shoehorn to help maintain the shape, prevent creasing of the heel, and allow the foot to glide in with ease – keeping your shoes looking their best and feeling comfortable from the first wear.
The Last
Claridge
Another versatile last shape, Claridge is used for both classic English styles and more contemporary shoes. Claridge is a medium width last which should run true to size. There is a little extra (cosmetic only) length in the toe of this last, which has a slightly rounded point.
The Style
Plain Tie
Whether you are looking for a classically styled plain-toe tie shoe or a simple, everyday option, our selection of dress men’s shoes is crafted in a wide range of leathers. Available on either leather or rubber soles, these shoes combine timeless style with practical versatility, making them suitable for any occasion. Designed with Loake’s signature attention to detail and craftsmanship, they offer enduring quality, comfort, and a polished finish, ensuring your wardrobe is equipped with reliable, elegant footwear for both formal and smart-casual settings.
The Collection
Professional
Loake have always been renowned for producing footwear to complement the more formal requirements of businessmen, city professionals or those in need of an elegant shoe for that special occasion. Designed in Kettering and produced in the Loake factories in Northamptonshire or India, these timeless and refined classics will add style and luxury to any outfit.
