The Description
Our Kensington is a premium dark brown calf leather penny loafer, crafted as part of Loake’s distinguished collection of men’s shoes. Featuring Goodyear welted rubber soles, it delivers exceptional durability, reliable grip, and the option of resoling for extended wear. Built on the refined College last, it offers a comfortable F fitting with a sleek, timeless loafer profile, making it a versatile option for both formal occasions and smart-casual outfits. Designed and engineered in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and handmade in our high-grade factory in England, Kensington reflects Loake’s heritage craftsmanship and enduring British 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.
Please note, these shoes come with a complementary pair of protective cloth bags.
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
1880 Classic
A collection of classic styles crafted from high-quality, calf leathers and featuring the famous Goodyear Welted construction. Reflecting the traditional heritage of Loake dating back to 1880, many of our hand-finished, luxurious styles in this collection have become icons in their own right.
