I have been very impressed with the quality and comfort of the boots and sneakers I have bought from The Brogue Trader in Edinburgh, equally outstanding is the quality of professional, friendly service I have received from both Finlay and James who went out of their way to source the suede Bannister sneakers I wanted in my size, such is their helpful manner, as a customer I was made to feel as though I had stepped back in time to the world of traditional values.
MANY thanks from a delighted customer!

Just returned from the Cardiff store where we introduced my son to the Brogue trader experience, many thanks to James for the service we received which led to us buying our son his first pair of boots from the shop. He was defiantly impressed by the whole experience. Again many thanks to James. Look forward to visiting again soon.

Many thanks to Kevin in Exeter’s Loake store. He provided me with first class service. I came in for an umbrella and left with the nicest pair of shoes I’ve owned too. Kevin gave plenty of help advice and warmly guided a fashion novice through many things. I’m pleased with both my new umbrella and shoes and look forward to shopping here again.

My first visit to Loakes in Frederick Street, Edinburgh.
Staff member James made me feel very welcome and gave as much time as necessary to look around. Once chosen, my shoe fitting was conducted with professional knowledge and patience, absolutely no pressure or hard sell, while I satisfied myself they were just right.
Retailers like Loake are hard to find nowadays, where you are treated with friendliness and honesty. Prices are higher than elsewhere but this is reflected in the quality of the footwear.
Thank you.

I have been looking for a pair of formal shoes for my upcoming wedding. I visited the Chester store where I was warmly welcomed by Alex and Paul. I had a great experience from start to finish. Alex took the time to measure my feet and share his extensive knowledge of shoes and the Loake brand. I was keen to understand more about polishing my new shoes as I mentioned I wanted a certain shine on them for my wedding, both Alex and Paul took the time and demonstrated how to achieve this.

I cannot recommend the store enough and will certainly be returning in the near future for another pair!
