help Loake Litchfield FAQ

Are Loake Litchfield shoes Goodyear welted?

Yes, the Loake Litchfield is made using a Goodyear welted construction, which is a hallmark of Loake's shoemaking tradition since the company was founded in Northamptonshire in 1880. This construction allows the shoes to be resoled multiple times, significantly extending their lifespan compared to cemented shoes.

Can I get the Loake Litchfield resoled at the factory?

Yes, Loake offers a factory refurbishment service from their Northamptonshire workshop, where they can replace the sole, re-heel, and re-finish the leather. Because the Litchfield is Goodyear welted, any competent cobbler can also resole it without special equipment.

What color options does the Loake Litchfield come in?

The Litchfield is commonly available in black calf leather and tan or brown calf leather. The black version is particularly popular as a versatile dress shoe appropriate for business and formal settings.

Is the Loake Litchfield made in England?

Yes, the Litchfield is part of Loake's English-made collection, produced in their factory in Northamptonshire. Loake has been manufacturing shoes in the Northampton area since 1880 and is one of the few remaining English shoemakers still producing there.
