Loake Goodyear welted shoes, constructed by stitching a strip of leather, the welt, to the upper, and then stitching the upper to the welt. This construction means that the shoes are repairable, strong but smart, and both the upper and insole mold to the foot. The Loake 747 is a classic smart toecap with a medium weight leather sole, Oxford lacing, and leather linings.
