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.

Understanding Fitting Codes
English made Men's shoes (and boots) are generally made in fittings E, F, G and H:
📏 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.
