John Lobb shoemakers is among the most renowned manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a shoemaking capital in the 17th century. Although the brand has been under Hermes since 1976, the factory continues to uphold the craft techniques developed in the Victorian era.
Technology is used, but sparingly. For example, leather cutting is still performed by hand rather than with lasers. Instead, plastic patterns are made, which are handed to clickers. Their title comes from the clicking sound of the knife touching the cutting table. With special blades, they carve the leather by hand.
Production is carefully restricted, with only roughly 450 to 500 pairs made each week. This approach gives the sense of one-of-a-kind production. Employees work on multiple models daily, instead of repeating one routine step like in mass-production plants. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welted technology, allowing the worn sole to be changed without damaging the upper.
In line with Hermes, John Lobb uses exceptional materials, particularly from premium French calfskin. Only slightly more than half of the leather is appropriate for main shoe parts, while the remainder becomes smaller accessories.
The collection combines heritage designs with contemporary tweaks. The City II Oxfords, for instance, now feature a sleeker silhouette. The Sennen shoes gained refined buckles and a more robust foundation. The Lopez model, introduced in the mid-20th century, received subtle color and sole innovations. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah shoes, which are produced yearly in a mix of colors and materials.
Through its commitment to tradition and quality, John Lobb remains a defining name in world-class shoemaking.
