The Description
Discover timeless style and exceptional craftsmanship with our ‘Imperial’ Suede Loafers – a premium footwear choice for the discerning gentleman. Expertly handcrafted in our high-grade factory in England, these loafers reflect the finest traditions of British shoemaking. Designed and engineered in Kettering, Northamptonshire, the heartland of English shoe production, each pair embodies meticulous attention to detail and quality.
The ‘Imperial’ loafer is constructed using luxurious suede for a soft, refined finish that adds sophistication to any outfit. Built on the classic ‘College’ last shape, it offers a sleek yet comfortable silhouette ideal for both smart-casual and formal occasions. The shoe is offered in a ‘G’ fitting, providing a slightly wider fit for enhanced comfort throughout the day.
What truly sets the ‘Imperial’ apart is its Goodyear welted rubber sole – a hallmark of durability and premium craftsmanship. This traditional construction method not only ensures long-lasting wear but also allows for resoling, making these shoes a smart investment. The rubber sole adds superior grip and practicality without compromising on style.
Whether you’re dressing for the office or an elegant evening out, the ‘Imperial’ Suede Loafer offers enduring quality, classic design, and exceptional comfort, making it an essential addition to your wardrobe.
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.
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
Professional
Loake have always been renowned for producing footwear to complement the more formal requirements of businessmen, city professionals or those in need of an elegant shoe for that special occasion. Designed in Kettering and produced in the Loake factories in Northamptonshire or India, these timeless and refined classics will add style and luxury to any outfit.
