Absolutely Amazing
As the East Dane (the Amazon company who fulfills the order) website states, the Loake Rothschild Cap Toe Oxford runs 1/2 UK size small. Order 1/2 UK size up. I am a consistent 9 UK, and ordered a 9 1/2 UK, and the shoes fit absolutely perfectly. These shoes are on a different level, and it is immediately apparent when seeing them in person, when first opening out of the box. I was in the market for an entry level handmade shoe, and while I personally thought the price was steep for dress shoes, Loakes are remarkably reasonable compared to Aldens, Allen Edmonds, or Crockett&Jones. In fact, if this level of quality is to be had at $340, and considered "entry level," I can't even imagine what brands that are twice the price are like. You will not be disappointed with this purchase if this is your first pair of well made shoes. What's more, you won't believe how incredible the quality is, or how magnificent these shoes look compared to what you had worn before. You might very well become a loyal Loake customer, as I believe I have become.

Beautiful pieces of art
Excellent quality shoes. The smell of the high quality leather hits you as soon as you open the box. I also ordered some Magnanni's black cap toe oxfords as well to compare. The Magnanni's were nice, but the quality of the materials and craftsmanship could not compare with these Loakes. Absolutely love them. Fit exactly as expected.
