Specifically, Loake shoes at a not-insane markup since I just emailed a NYC shop about their pricing on Loake's 1880 line only to be told they sell them at $400 a pop. I get needing to turn a profit, but you'd have to be either rich or daft to pay an extra $150 to save yourself a 2-week delivery wait.

No announcement yet.
Anyone know any NYC-based stores that sell Loake shoes?

Just one thing to note if you check them out is that CT's US sizes are only 1/2 size down from UK. So chances are good that you'll take an additional 1/2 size down from your regular US size.

Sky Valet in DC carries Loake too, if you just want domestic shipping.

I know I've walked past a place either on Lex or 3rd that carries Loake too. I'm pretty sure it was Oliver Moore:

There's nothing about Loake on their website but it might be worth a call or email.
