Hello, my first ad on this forum, so please be gentle.
The shoes
Brand: Loake
Line: 1880
Style: "Whitehall" (penny loafers)
Size: 9.5F using the UK system (I believe is about a Euro 44 or 10.5US, but please check)
Fitting: F (standard width)
Last: 0025
RRP: £209
Condition
As new. Tried on in carpeted office only (see sole pictures). In the original cloth bags, in the original unmarked Loake 1880 box.
Price
£100, which is less than half the £209 RRP.
The story
I bought these recently for myself, tried them on in my carpeted office, and decided almost instantly that slip-ons are not for me. I can't return them, so here they are.
I have many other pairs of Loake 1880s. My daily workshoes are two pairs of their "Strand", which I alternate. The 1880 represents a real jump in quality from most Loake shoes, as they are all handmade in England, with Goodyear welting of course, and much better leather. All this for the same price as you pay for a glued fashion shoe on the high street.
