The Description
Our Aldwych is a premium dark brown grain calf leather toe-cap Oxford, offering timeless style and exceptional craftsmanship. Built on the refined Capital last, it provides a comfortable F fitting and a sleek, classic silhouette that works perfectly for business, formal occasions, or smart-casual wear. Featuring durable Goodyear welted rubber soles, Aldwych combines longevity, grip, and the option of resoling, ensuring it remains a wardrobe staple for years to come. These men’s shoes are designed and engineered in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and handmade in our high-grade factory in England, reflecting Loake’s heritage of traditional British shoemaking and enduring quality.
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.
Please note, these shoes come with a complementary pair of protective cloth bags.
The Last
Capital
One of our most versatile shoe lasts, Capital is used across a wide range of our 1880 men’s shoes, from formal styles such as the ‘Aldwych’ toe-cap Oxford to refined boots including ‘Pimlico’. It features a medium width fitting with a subtle chisel toe shape, creating a sharp yet balanced silhouette. Designed to run true to size, Capital offers a dependable and comfortable fit. A longstanding customer favourite, nine distinctive styles are currently crafted on this popular last.
