Loake has a lot of classic shapes last, a lot of business shoes that you can wear brown or black shoes and even their boots. Their suedes have very nice touch - kind of a short nap, they're not too soft but they're also not super stiff. Their regular calf leathers are maybe a little stiffer.

In terms of workmanship, they're made in England as such they are Goodyear welted which is like a standard over there, they don't do blake.

They are calf leather and has good quality. It's not the best leather in the world and it's not also crappy leather but it is somewhere in a medium segment.

As of 2020, this model is available in other colors for $240. It has very traditional English styling or last shape which helps to offset the fact to choose to get a slightly bolder color and thought was advantageous. The stitching was nice and even. The construction was very high quality all around.
