The Loake family has been producing fine, handmade men's footwear for as long as anyone can remember.
 
The tradition began in 1880, when three brothers opened a factory in Northamptonshire in the heart of the English shoemaking industry. Their aim was to provide the most handsome, comfortable and durable gentlemen's shoes possible.
 
Five generations and more than 125 years later, they remain just as passionate about the quality and craftsmanship that makes Loake footwear among the best in the world.

They are most famous for their fine, handcrafted Goodyear Welted shoes. This unique construction gives Loake shoes their superior performance properties. The more a Goodyear Welted shoe is worn, the more comfortable it becomes, as the leather components gradually mould to the shape of the foot. With the components being stitched rather than glued together, all the natural properties of the leather are retained, giving improved thermal insulation, durability, flexibility and shape retention, as well as the best possible breathing conditions for feet. 

Loake shoes are more than just a tradition, they are a sense of understanding the quality in life.
 

The customer who buys L'STONY, desires outstanding quality not commonly found in every day shoes. The shoe must be stylish, comfortable, and purposefully live up to their expectations.

There is no compromise in the selection process, when it comes to sourcing the finest materials and leathers that make up a L'STONY shoe.

The most demanding client can be assured that for over 50 years, the experience passed on to three generations of specialists and artisans had etched a fundamental understanding of their product, into every shoe created.

While the fundamentals of quality and fit remain the same, each new generation of the L'STONY family, brings an evolution of styling and innovative use of new materials, to ensure that L'STONY is always in line with the current trends.

The use of the famous fully stitched Redell construction produces a shoe that is comfortable to wear, straight out of the box. The soles are fully stitched to the upper, utilising concealed or open stitch methods. There is never an issue of soles separating from the shoe.

L'STONY unites style and comfort for customers who understand the importance of excellence.

The secret is out. 

For the past few seasons, Torretti Red has quietly been sold through a select group of Australasian retailers. The impressive retail sales and positive feedback from the general public has established Torretti Red as a partner to its successful Italian master. 

While Torretti “Made in Italy” still maintains its signature styling, Torretti Red introduces a slightly younger, commercially priced product of extremely high quality. Torretti Red has carved its niche within the Torretti brand with Italian design and quality controls that are the envy of the industry. Combined with superior quality European and regional leathers, this successful formula is reflected in the sales growth of Torretti Red.

This season,  Torretti “Made in Italy” and Torretti Red have been expanded to incorporate the latest European trends, while maintaining their commercial appeal and fitting characteristics.

Francesco Morichetti has traditionally been manufacturing for many well known European youth labels. With an extensive European campaign, and the success of the Francesco Morichetti label, the production has now focused on their own brand.

Quality, styling and fit are taken seriously, ensuring  a growing base of satisfied customers.

In just a few years, issi has established itself as the fashion brand that benchmarks the true essence of quality and workmanship.

Manufactured outside Europe, it embraces the efficiency of start to finish quality control that would normally be used by high end European brands.

Styling is strongly influenced by a creative team of Italian designers working in-house, ensuring the latest fashion trends are developed to exact specifications. The Italian managed plant is one of the very few in the region that meets the stringent ISO 9002 quality specifications and standard, and maintains a point of difference by using the highest quality leathers and components from Italy, Spain and regional sourcing.  

Issi pursues the latest global footwear trends, while delivering superior quality at a competitive price.

With their long and successful heritage, Spanish brand Romus has primarily been known for its comfort and technology based features.

Over recent years, the brand has taken on a dramatic shift in styling, positioning the brand in many of the great fashion stores around the world.

Without losing any of their fundamental quality and comfort characteristics for which they are renowned, Romus has been able to achieve a perfect balance between fashion styling and comfort.

Romus still caters for their traditional base of customers with their classics range, but the inclusion of new modernised lasts and latest season leathers consolidate the brand’s growth in the world market.

Romus’s new marketing philosophy of FEELING GOOD really captures the essence of the brand.

Since the foundation of Lodi in 1978, the company has gradually increased its market share to become one of the ten most productive companies in the Spanish footwear sector.

In 1997, LODI set in motion an expansive global strategy which today consolidates its sales throughout the world. The secret to LODI's success is the continuous investment and development in a wide range of collections which reflect the trends of each season, while still respecting their signature brands.

While other factories were downsizing, LODI's strategy of increasing lines and production paid off, with an average 20% increase in sales over the recent years.

The high level of customer satisfaction can be attributed to the combination of a highly motivated design group, working effectively with the sales and distribution team.

Quality, continuity and reliability have always been fundamental to LODI. Their signature brands are LODI, CF LODI and Aura Blanc
