Some of the products I've acquired in four years of blogging have really stood out and I wanted to feature them in this new series, 'A Blogger's Favourites'. All have become firm favourites and have the following in common: quality, comfort and (in differing amounts) style. Inevitably, many are British made.

I start with these Loake Otterburn brogues. Made in Kettering in England, they have already been through a factory overhaul. Read about the Loake factory overhaul of these shoes here. Stylish and robust, they are among my favourites. The Otterburn isn't on the Loake website, but can be found elsewhere. The Loake Chester is a similar shoe. See Loake.
