The Description

The Loake Imperial is a premium pair of men’s shoes, styled as an elegant penny loafer and crafted in soft brown suede for a versatile, refined finish. Built on the sophisticated College last, it offers a sleek profile with a comfortable F fitting and balanced toe shape, making it suitable for both smart and casual occasions. Featuring traditional Goodyear welted leather soles, Imperial combines beauty with durability and can be resoled for years of wear. Handmade in Northamptonshire, England, this loafer showcases Loake’s heritage of fine craftsmanship and timeless design. A classic style that embodies understated British elegance and 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.

The Last

College

Loafer last shape, designed for use with slip on styles. The College last has a standard length toe, with a pointed round toe shape. This last generally runs true to size, although it is designed to fit snugly as befits a loafer style.
