The Description
Our Barbican is a premium black polished leather plain-tie, featuring Goodyear welted rubber soles for exceptional durability, grip, and long-lasting wear. Built on the Castle last, it offers a comfortable F fitting with a refined, classic profile that makes it a versatile choice for formal and smart occasions. These men’s shoes are designed and engineered in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and handmade in our high-grade factory in England, showcasing Loake’s heritage of traditional British shoemaking. A timeless style that blends polished elegance with everyday practicality, the Barbican is a wardrobe essential for those who appreciate quality and craftsmanship.
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
Castle
Our Castle last introduces a contemporary silhouette to the Loake collection, designed with a refined round toe for a modern yet timeless appeal. Offering a more tailored fit, Castle enhances the overall profile of the shoe while maintaining the comfort and craftsmanship Loake is known for. Ideal for those seeking a sleeker, more sophisticated shape without compromising on heritage quality.
