What on earth is a 'Grail Shoe'??
I'm more curious to know what "grandad jeans" are. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mom_jeans
"A corresponding term, dad jeans, has been coined in popular media to refer to an unflattering, high-waisted and shapeless style of jeans often worn by middle-aged U.S. men. This term has been used occasionally since 2009, when President Barack Obama was depicted as wearing such jeans to a baseball game.[2][3] [4][5] In March 2015, Obama appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the "Mean Tweets" segment, in which he read a Tweet mocking him over the jeans. Jimmy Kimmel comes out, wearing high-waisted jeans, and attempts to defend them.[6]"

Yep. I really like them; they're a decent quality, fit well and look good. Quality is on a par with my Cheaney and Sanders shoes, I think maybe a little better than Loake.
Do Loake make shoes for CT?Shaw Tarse said:

Nice find just ordered a pair.
What's the best way to look after these had a cheap pair and after being caught in a heavy shower on a night out seemed pretty wrecked.
I don't think you can completely protect them What's the best way to look after these had a cheap pair and after being caught in a heavy shower on a night out seemed pretty wrecked.
Or wear galoshes?

Another TK Maxx find: brown suede chukkas by Loake. Been impressed with the burgundy ones I bought a while back so decided to get these as well as a treat.
I am now the expectant owner of my first Loakes......Damn! Off to Herrings now as Bicester (Churchs) served up a blank on this trip!

ds, I'm wearing a pair just like those.
I will read that link a little more in-depth when I sober up.
Had my two pairs of Loake Chukkas delivered today. Unfortunately they'll have to go back.
The brown ones had a mark on them across the front. Wouldn't come out with a suede brush and it's in quite a prominent position.
The tan ones seem 'worn' at the front. It's just like the image on the website, if you look closely hopefully you'll see what I mean. I assumed they'd just picked a poor example to photograph.
Probably a manufacturing issue and why they ended up in TK Maxx.
Real shame as the previous ones I bought were great. Hopefully the other members who placed an order will have better luck.

Will let you know - so you went for tan and brown also then?? Personally, I ordered these for a more slobby pair/s so may not be too critical if there are slight imperfections in the toes. Depends though obviously.....The brown ones had a mark on them across the front. Wouldn't come out with a suede brush and it's in quite a prominent position.

Anybody else received theirs yet?
