The Description
Our ‘Imperial’ is a premium classic Penny Loafer, featuring Goodyear welted leather soles for beauty and elegance. Imperial uses the ‘College’ last shape for a comfortable fit and toe shape, and is available in a ‘F’ fitting. Imperial is handmade in England at our Northamptonshire factory.
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.
We think our Imperial is great...
Don't just take our word for it though!
