The Description
Our Dorchester is a premium dark brown suede boot, crafted with Goodyear welted rubber soles for exceptional durability, longevity, and grip. Built on the Castle last, it offers a comfortable F fitting, providing a classic yet versatile boot profile. These men’s shoes are thoughtfully designed and engineered in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and handmade in our high-grade factory in England, reflecting Loake’s commitment to traditional British shoemaking. A sophisticated suede boot that balances timeless craftsmanship with modern practicality, making it an ideal choice for smart or casual wear.
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.
