Burton & Loake collaborate in Spring

Burton has announced it will be collaborating with Loake on a second collection during Spring/Summer 2011. The new range of footwear includes four styles; two shoes and two boots in grey suede, brown suede, brown waxed leather or black

waxed leather. The brogue shoes in suede have been adapted for the summer season with their lightweight look and soft colours.

The collection also sees the introduction of a waxed Millerain finish to the brogue boots. Millerain fabric offers the latest in fabric technology and adds a durable, resistant and modern performance to a traditional design. This is a nod to Burton's long military heritage, as Millerain has is used for many of the Armed Forces' uniforms.

With the addition of the classic Loake, Burton also introduces new on trend lines, seeing the worker/military boot and trendy moccasin style boot sitting side by side, as well as a wide range of formal fashionable leather shoes.

Burton was originally founded in 1903 under the name of The Cross-Tailoring Company. It quickly became popular and expanded into hundreds of outlets and factories across the United Kingdom. Today, it is a staple on most high streets and a popular retailer for mens fashion, including gifts for men, mens shirts, casual clothing, mens jeans and mens shoes.
