Size & Fit

Quick Reference

Most Loake shoes are made in F fitting (Medium) – statistics show that worldwide this is the most appropriate fitting for a majority of males. We also offer a good selection of G fitting (Wide) shoes.

The majority of shoes listed on our site are graded in UK sizes; a small number of styles within the Loake lifestyle range are graded using the continental scale.

📏 Fitting Differences

Between fittings in the same size there is approximately 1/4" difference in girth measurement.

🔤 Half Fittings

Fittings with an X suffix are half as wide again. For example, FX is halfway between F and G.

✓ Our Standard

Although there is no absolute standard for fittings, we believe our shoes are made as near as possible to that "standard" as they have been for over 130 years.
