When it comes to quality footwear, Loake shoes appear to tick all the boxes.

According to the shoemaker’s website, the brand has been praised by a number of stylish individuals, including menswear designer Tim Soar, who revealed that he has used the shoes at three of his London Fashion Week shows.

"They are beautifully made, sturdy men’s shoes that have personality of their own. They have always perfectly complimented my designs," he explained.

Meanwhile, David Annand, associate editor of GQ Style, described Loake shoes as "fantastic", claiming that he was even able to climb halfway up a mountain in the footwear.

Men’s Health magazine has called the brand a true classic that has transcended ever-changing fashion trends, while Arena claims that Loake is an unsung hero of shoemaking.

The brand has been making footwear for 130 years and in addition to men’s business shoes, it also produces designs that are perfect for more casual occasions, along with slip-ons and boots.
