The Description
Our ‘Buckingham’ is a premium Calf Leather Brogue, featuring Goodyear welted leather soles for greater longevity and quality. Buckingham uses the ‘Capital’ last shape, and is available in a ‘F’ fitting. These mens shoes are designed and engineered in Kettering and made in our high-grade factory in England.
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.
The Style
Brogue
No English gentleman’s wardrobe is complete without a pair of handcrafted Goodyear welted brogues. These classic men’s shoes, featuring traditional punched holes originally designed to allow water to drain, are available in a wide selection of leather or rubber soles. Choose from Oxford or Derby constructions, offered in a vast array of colours and styles. Combining timeless design with Loake’s renowned craftsmanship, these brogues deliver enduring quality, comfort, and sophistication, making them an essential addition to any discerning gentleman’s collection.
The Collection
1880 Classic
Loake 1880 represents the highest expression of Loake’s English shoemaking craft. Named after the year the company was founded, the collection is crafted in Kettering, Northamptonshire using traditional Goodyear welted construction, premium leathers and time-honoured shoemaking techniques.
Rooted in over a century of craftsmanship and still produced by the fifth generation of the Loake family, Loake 1880 combines enduring British heritage with refined contemporary design.
We think our Buckingham is great...
Don't just take our word for it though!
