The Description
The Loake Imperial is a timeless pair of men’s shoes, styled as a classic penny loafer and crafted from sleek black polished leather for a refined and versatile look. Built on the elegant College last, it offers a comfortable F fitting with a traditional loafer profile and balanced toe shape. Featuring traditional Goodyear welted leather soles, Imperial is designed for durability, elegance, and can be resoled to extend its lifespan. Handmade in Northamptonshire, England, this loafer represents the very best of British shoemaking, blending understated style with enduring quality. A sophisticated wardrobe staple, equally suited to business attire and smart-casual occasions.
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
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.
