The Description
Our ‘McDowell’ is a premium monk-shoe, featuring Goodyear welted leather soles for greater longevity and grip. McDowell uses the ‘legend’ last shape for a generous fit and bold toe shape, and is available in a ‘f’ fitting. McDowell 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
Legend
Legend is a well-established last shape that has been in use for some years. It features a squared off toe shape of standard length. The sizing of this last in F fitting should be true to size. The G fitting version of this last offers a more generous fit in terms of width.
The Style
Monk Shoe
Featuring a technical design with no laces and secured by single or double straps, our Monk men’s shoes offer a sleek, contemporary alternative for smart dressing. Less formal than an Oxford but more refined than a Brogue, these shoes pair effortlessly with suit trousers while remaining versatile enough for a variety of occasions. Combining timeless style with Loake’s renowned craftsmanship, the Monk shoe provides a polished, sophisticated option for men seeking elegance, comfort, and adaptability in a modern wardrobe.
We think our McDowell is great...
Don't just take our word for it though!
