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 for several of our 1880 styles from formal shoes such as our ‘Aldwych’ toe cap Oxford to boots such as ‘Pimlico’ and ‘Hyde’. It is a medium width last with a slight chisel shape to the toe and runs true to size. Capital has been a popular choice with our customers since its introduction, currently nine styles are made on this last.
