The Description
Our ‘Royal’ is a premium polished leather wingtip Brogue, featuring Goodyear welted leather soles for greater luxury and quality. Royal uses the ‘1639’ last shape, and is available in an ‘F’ fitting. These men’s shoes are designed and engineered in Northamptonshire, England, and handmade in our high-grade factory in England.
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
1639
This last is shorter in the toe than some, but also broader in this area. It gives shoes such as our famous Royal brogue a bolder appearance. This last shape generally runs true to size, but is a little roomier toward the front compared with other F fitting lasts.
The Style
Brogue
No English gentleman’s wardrobe is complete without a pair of handcrafted Goodyear welted brogues. With punched holes (originally designed to allow water to drain from the shoe), choose from a wide selection of Leather or Rubber-soled options in Oxford or Derby constructions, in a vast array of colours and styles.
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.
