For over 140 years, Loake has been synonymous with premium men’s footwear, combining timeless style with traditional English craftsmanship. At Mischief Shoes, we’re proud to bring this heritage brand to New Zealand, offering a curated collection of men’s dress shoes NZ designed for the modern gentleman.
A Legacy Since 1880
Founded by three brothers in Northamptonshire, the heart of English shoemaking, Loake has been crafting shoes since 1880. Still family-owned and operating from their historic Wood Street factory, Loake has produced more than 50 million pairs of shoes — a true testament to their enduring quality.
The Craft of Goodyear Welted Shoes
What makes Loake shoes NZ stand apart is their famous Goodyear welted construction, a method dating back over 300 years. Each pair involves up to 75 shoe parts, more than 200 individual operations, and around eight weeks of skilled workmanship. This construction not only ensures exceptional comfort and durability but also allows Loake shoes to be re-soled, giving them a lifespan measured in decades rather than years.
Designed for Comfort and Longevity
Using only the finest grade leathers, every pair is carefully inspected at each stage of production. With leather-lined interiors, cushioned insoles, and generous fits, Loake mens shoes deliver both style and comfort for everyday wear, business meetings, or special occasions.

From prestigious department stores in London, Milan, and Tokyo to Mischief Shoes here in New Zealand, Loake is trusted by discerning men across the globe. Their shoes are worn by professionals, style icons, and even sports legends, making them a brand that bridges tradition with modern sophistication.
