John Lobb shoemakers is a highly respected manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that became famous as a center of footwear production in the seventeenth century. Although the brand has been under Hermes since 1976, the factory is dedicated to preserving the methods 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 clicking sound of the knife touching the cutting table. With traditional knives, they carve the leather by hand.
Production is intentionally small, with only roughly 450 to 500 pairs made each week. This approach gives the sense of one-of-a-kind production. Employees often handle many designs in a single day, instead of repeating one routine step like in assembly-line workshops. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welting, allowing the worn sole to be changed without damaging the upper.
In line with Hermes, John Lobb uses exceptional materials, particularly from young French calf hides. Only 60% of each hide is usable for uppers, while the remainder becomes smaller accessories.
The collection combines timeless classics with contemporary tweaks. The City II Oxfords, for instance, have been given a more elegant outline. The Sennen shoes gained longer straps and a thicker sole. The Lopez model, introduced in the mid-20th century, were updated with new colors and rubber soles. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah trainers, which are produced yearly in a mix of colors and materials.
Through its balance of heritage and innovation, John Lobb continues to be a benchmark in world-class shoemaking.
