The Brogue Trader T/A Loake Shoemakers Oxford oxford

My favourite pair of Loake brogues needed a spruce up as they got discoloured through heavy use. Marcus and the team did a fabulous job cleaning the shoes and putting the colour back in, giving the shoes second life. A very happy customer! Will no doubt be back - would highly recommend both the product and the excellent service in the Oxford shop which is consistently meeting and exceeding high expectations.

Bought my first pair of Loake Reading boots last year. The service from the guys down there is excellent. As it's the most I've ever spent on a pair of shoes I wanted to learn how to take care of them. So I signed up for there 1st "Shoe polishing tutorial'. Bob and the guys were great at showing you how to look after your investment. I'll definitely be signing up for the next one, even if it's for the free coffee and pastries. ;-) Thanks again guys.

The Brogue Trader in Oxford as headed up by Bob Douglas, is quite simply second to none. Let alone being the best place to purchase and be advised as to the care of shoes in Oxford, it would give many an establishment in St James's a run for their money. The incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable staff go well above and beyond what would normally be regarded as excellent customer service. It is a tremendous boon to have them in Oxford and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

January 2nd 2020 My wife and I Decided to visit your Westgate Oxford shop today with a view to purchasing a new pair of Loake shoes. I still own and wear the last pair that I purchased 28 years ago, which still look as good as new and even today fit so well. After spending quite a time in your shop being assisted by Marcus, we left with 2 pairs of shoes and a stunning Loake belt. Marcus served us throughout and his knowledge in his products were second to none. We were given coffee and as much time as we needed, nothing was to much trouble. It was service from a bygone age. It is so refreshing to find such a retail gem, and to walk out with English produced footwear. It will not be another 28 years until my next visit, and I feel a visit to the factory if ever there is an open day. Keep up the good work. Mark J Smith

I have visited them many times and got multiple pair of shoes. I am a frequent shopper of gentlemen clothing, and most of the up-scale shops are often very bad at service (despite the price you pay for). The people at Loake are, however, amazingly friendly and helpful. Every time I visit their store they offer drinks, take my measurements (in case the sizes might have changed due to temporal/seasonal reasons) and give fantastic advise on how to keep your shoes clean and durable. I must give special kudos to Bob, who is the manager of Oxford branch -- he has been an excellent friend and hero who helped me on many things regarding my shoe purchases and post-purchase adjustments/maintenance. I will soon visit them again to acquire a new pair of slip-ons and can't wait to return to their shop!

Literally the best shoe buying experience of life. Extremely knowledgeable and professional bloke in Loakes today made spending £300 an excellent experience. Measured my feet and recommended a slightly different size from my normal Size 9. Discussed width and lacing, told me the price of every additional item I bought as we went along. If you want great boots fitted by a real professional try Loakes in Oxford. Better service than Church's!

Excellent customer service. Salesman went above and beyond to ensure I was pleased with the shoes I purchased. Amazing quality very professional 👏

Recently visited Loake Shoemakers to get a pair of shoes polished. Not only did they do a fantastic job with the shoes but I bought a brown leather belt from them which I absolutely love. Great selection and very welcoming staff. Loake shoemakers has become my go to shoe store!

Unbelievable service from an amazing team.Will did an incredible job of my cherished Boots for the forthcoming wedding....outstanding work.

The most helpful shop assistant out... Went above and beyond....♥
