Refined and versatile, the Loake Atherton is a premium calf leather lace-up shoe, perfect for smart occasions. This design features plain detailing for a clean and sophisticated look. The Goodyear welted leather-rubber soles provide enhanced grip and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance and comfort. Designed in Kettering and meticulously handcrafted, the Atherton is a timeless addition to any gentleman's wardrobe.
Caring for hand-painted leathers
These shoes are unique in the way they are finished, with colour added in layers over a natural base to create a deep rich and truly individual patina.
Only water-based creams should be used to moisturise the leather and retain depth of colour. Any solvent-based wax or cream could strip painted leather finishes and should be avoided.
We recommend using neutral cream to keep the original colour, and occasional treatment with the appropriate colour if they are fading or need a scuff treating.
