The Description
The Loake Imperial is a premium pair of men’s shoes, styled as a classic penny loafer and crafted from luxurious navy suede leather for a sophisticated yet versatile finish. Built on the elegant College last, it provides a comfortable F fitting with a refined silhouette, perfect for both smart and casual wear. Featuring traditional Goodyear welted construction with fully leather soles, Imperial offers durability, shape retention, and the option of resoling for long-lasting performance. Designed and engineered in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and handmade in our high-grade factory in England, Imperial showcases the finest British shoemaking traditions. A timeless loafer that combines comfort, quality, and understated style.
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.
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.
We think our Imperial is great...
Don't just take our word for it though!
