Loake Cagney

I just bought myself a new pair of Loake goodyear welted shoes last Friday. In fact, this is my third pair of Loake shoes. The Loake Cagney is an Oxford-styled shoe which comes with polished leather uppers. The sole and insole are also lined with leather, thus making this pair of shoes extremely beautiful and comfortable to wear.

This pair of Loake Cagney is made in Loake’s factory in England and retails at £120 on Loake’s website. I got mine from P. Lal Shoe Store at RM599.00.

This pair of goodyear welted shoes comes in the F fitting with shoelaces. The shoe feels comfortable when walking, no doubt helped by the cushioned insole. No complaints whatsoever :D
