FAQs
How should I clean my Loake Fearnley shoes?
Wipe off surface dirt with a soft brush, apply a small amount of leather conditioner, and finish with a matching polish.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Loake Fearnley typically fits according to standard UK sizing, but it is best to use a shoe horn to avoid damaging the heel counter.
Can I replace the soles when they wear out?
Yes, the Goodyear welted construction is specifically designed to be resoled by a competent cobbler multiple times.
Are these suitable for daily office wear?
Yes, they are designed for longevity and comfort in professional environments, provided you rotate them with other pairs to let the leather rest.
What is the best way to store them?
Always store with cedar shoe trees inserted to maintain the shoe's shape and absorb moisture.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels too stiff during the first few wears
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to mold to your feet naturally without causing blisters.
The sole feels slippery on smooth surfaces
Consider visiting a professional cobbler to have a thin rubber sole protector added to the bottom for increased traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Loake Fearnley shoes maintain their appearance, use cedar shoe trees immediately after wear to absorb moisture and preserve the shape. Apply a high-quality leather cream or wax polish to keep the leather hydrated and prevent cracking. When storing, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to become brittle. Since these feature a traditional leather sole, avoid excessive exposure to water or heavy rain; if the shoes do get wet, allow them to air-dry slowly at room temperature rather than placing them near a radiator.
