The John Lobb brand is a legendary manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that earned its reputation as a core of the shoe industry in the 1600s. Although the brand has been under Hermes since 1976, the factory is dedicated to preserving the traditional production process developed in the Victorian era.
Although machinery exists, tradition dominates. Specifically, the laser is not applied directly to the hides. Instead, plastic templates are produced, which are handed to skilled cutters known as clickers. Their title comes from the characteristic snap of the knife touching the cutting table. With feather knives, they carve the leather by hand.
Production is limited, with only no more than five hundred pairs made each week. This approach feels like near-bespoke manufacturing. Employees work on multiple models daily, instead of repeating one routine step like in mass-production plants. Every shoe is built with the Goodyear method, allowing a leaky sole to be removed without damaging the upper.
Similar to Hermes, John Lobb chooses only the finest leather, particularly from premium French calfskin. Only about sixty percent is usable for uppers, while the remainder becomes supporting details.
The range combines timeless classics with contemporary tweaks. The City II black Oxfords, for instance, were slightly reshaped. The Sennen model gained elongated straps and a more robust foundation. The Lopez model, introduced in 1950, now include a rubber sole and fresh shades. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah trainers, which are offered annually in different shades and textures.
Through its balance of heritage and innovation, John Lobb remains a benchmark in world-class shoemaking.
