FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they are designed to standard UK sizing, though high-quality leather shoes may feel snug initially.
Can these be resoled?
Yes, the Goodyear welted construction is specifically designed to allow for professional resoling by a cobbler.
How often should I polish the leather?
It is recommended to polish your shoes every few weeks, or whenever the leather appears dry or scuffed.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Leather soles and uppers are not waterproof. If they get soaked, allow them to dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Do I need to use shoe trees?
Yes, cedar shoe trees are highly recommended to draw out moisture and keep the shape of the leather intact.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Wear them indoors for short periods over several days to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.
Leather looks dull or loses shine
Apply a matching brown leather polish and buff with a soft cloth to restore the natural luster.
Sole is slippery on polished floors
Scuff the bottom of the leather sole lightly on a rough surface like pavement to create traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Loake Fearnley shoes last for years, insert wooden shoe trees immediately after taking them off to absorb moisture and maintain the shoe's shape. Apply a high-quality leather cream regularly to keep the leather nourished and prevent cracking. Use a soft horsehair brush to remove dirt before polishing. For compatibility, these shoes pair best with tailored wool trousers, chinos, or formal suits in navy, grey, or brown tones.
