The Description
The Loake Aldwych is a premium men’s Oxford shoe, crafted from rich mahogany calf leather for a refined and versatile look. Designed on the Capital last, it offers a classic F fitting with a sleek toe cap design, making it a perfect choice for business, formal, and special occasions. Featuring Goodyear welted construction with fully leather soles, Aldwych ensures excellent comfort, durability, shape retention, and the option of resoling for long-lasting wear. Designed and engineered in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and handmade in Loake’s high-grade factory in England, these men’s shoes embody traditional British craftsmanship, timeless elegance, 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.
