The Description
Our ‘Hornbeam’ is a premium Calf Leather loafer, using the ‘College’ last shape, and is available in a ‘F’ fitting. ‘Hornbeam’ is made in our Northamptonshire factory in England and features Goodyear welted construction with fully leather soles that provide a high level of comfort, shape retention and added durability. With threads made from recycled bottles, premium leatherboard stiffeners made from veg-tanned recycled leathers, veg-tanned soles that use natural chrome-free tannins, and tanned linings that retain the soft and supple qualities of premium leather, while being kinder to the environment.
They are also designed to be fully repairable by the people that made them, to help prolong their lifespan, when the time comes.
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
College
The College last is a classic loafer shape, specifically designed for slip-on men’s shoes. It features a standard-length toe with a gently pointed, rounded profile, creating a refined yet versatile silhouette. This last generally runs true to size; however, it is intentionally designed to fit snugly, as befits a traditional loafer style. The close fit ensures secure wear and a streamlined appearance, while maintaining comfort and flexibility. Ideal for smart-casual or formal occasions, the College last delivers dependable fit, timeless style, and Loake’s signature craftsmanship.
The Style
Loafer
Offering a smart-casual option for the warmer months, our slip-on loafers and moccasin men’s shoes are crafted in a variety of calf or suede leathers. Their versatile design ensures they look equally stylish with a tailored suit or relaxed seaside attire. Combining comfort, effortless wear, and Loake’s signature craftsmanship, these shoes deliver a refined yet laid-back aesthetic, making them an ideal choice for men seeking timeless, adaptable style during the spring and summer months.
The Collection
1880 Classic
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.
We think our Hornbeam is great...
