FAQs
How do I determine my Loake shoe size?
Refer to the Loake size chart. Measure your foot length and consult the chart to find your correct UK size.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few weeks, or more frequently if worn regularly, to keep it supple.
Can I wear these boots in wet weather?
While the Goodyear Welted sole offers some water resistance, prolonged exposure to wet conditions should be avoided. Use a leather protector spray for added protection.
How do I clean the brogue perforations?
Use a soft brush to gently remove dirt from the perforations. A cotton swab dipped in leather cleaner can also help.
What kind of shoe trees should I use?
Use wooden shoe trees, preferably cedar, to absorb moisture and maintain the boots' shape.
Where are Loake shoes manufactured?
Loake shoes are primarily manufactured in the United Kingdom.
What is Goodyear Welt construction?
Goodyear Welt construction is a durable method of attaching the sole to the upper, making the boots long-lasting and resole-able.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable.
Allow some break-in time. If the issue persists, consider professional stretching or sizing up.
Leather shows signs of wear or cracking.
Clean and condition the leather regularly. Address deep scratches or cracks with appropriate leather repair products.
Sole is wearing down unevenly.
Have the boots resoled by a professional cobbler if the wear is excessive.
