The Loake Chester is a premium calf leather brogue shoe, presented here in a rich burnished tan finish for timeless appeal. Built on the traditional 024 last, it features a comfortable F fitting and a classic rounded toe profile. Goodyear welted construction with rubber studded soles offers excellent grip, durability, and shape retention, while also allowing for resoling to extend its lifespan. Designed and engineered in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and handmade in our high-grade factory in England, these men’s shoes reflect Loake’s heritage of fine British shoemaking. A versatile brogue that combines refined style with everyday practicality and long-lasting 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.
024 is one of two country last shapes Loake use currently. It is used for less formal shoes such as our iconic ‘Chester’ brogue and ‘Burford’ boot. Like most country style last shapes, 024 is a little roomier by design to allow for thicker socks to be worn. The toe shape is rounded on this last.
No English gentleman’s wardrobe is complete without a pair of handcrafted Goodyear welted brogues. With punched holes (originally designed to allow water to drain from the shoe), choose from a wide selection of Leather or Rubber-soled options in Oxford or Derby constructions, in a vast array of colours and styles.
A collection of classic styles crafted from high-quality, calf leathers and featuring the famous Goodyear Welted construction. Reflecting the traditional heritage of Loake dating back to 1880, many of our hand-finished, luxurious styles in this collection have become icons in their own right.
All 1880 Classic styles are made in our Northamptonshire factory, located in the heart of England.
