@Bigwave2003 Almost all of the footwear sold in the UK (around 98%) is now sourced from abroad, but there is currently no legal requirement to label goods with their country of origin. Loake are extremely proud of our manufacturing heritage and tradition and the fact that we still produce shoes in England. We believe that it is correct to mark them with their Country of origin. All of our 1880 and Evolution ranges of shoes are made in the UK, as are all the Goodyear welted 'Shoemaker' styles.
I work in the shoe business and my family has a long history in shoe making (since 1935), so it's not new for me to see how it is done, but this film captures the essence of the love for the art.
r of over nine years and someone who has also returned to study photography and film production, this film is outstanding in all aspects, and truely shows the effort that Loake put into their products.
A beautifully made film by a master craftsman, showing other master craftsmen at work.

Outstanding Video & Shoes after watching this I am going to buy my First pair of Loakes. I think I'm going to buy the Loake Boot - Frost
My Hush Puppies Boots have lasted well (over 2 years wearing them every day) but can't find a pair like the ones I have now

Buyer beware: Loake now outsources many shoes and they are made in India!
I know, just bought a pair, promoted as British shoes from a great UK shoe company, shipped to me from England -- but stamped inside: Made in India.

How does this method of shoe-making differ from any other?

@HDvideosaregood Do you mean compared to like, Nike? Or other fine shoe companies like Crockett-Jones, Alden, etc.?

I only buy Loakes shoes because they last for years, wear well and I can buy them online and know they will fit comfortably.
After watching this video I now understand why. Great to see another UK manufacturing success.
