John Lobb shoemakers is a legendary manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a core of the shoe industry in the 1600s. Although Hermes Group has owned the company 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, lasers create plastic patterns, which are handed to skilled cutters known as clickers. Their title comes from the distinctive “click” of the knife touching the cutting table. With special blades, they cut the hides manually.
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 switch between twenty shoe types in a day, instead of repeating one routine step like in assembly-line workshops. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welted technology, allowing a leaky sole to be removed without damaging the upper.
Similar to Hermes, John Lobb chooses only the finest leather, particularly from young French calf hides. Only about sixty percent is suitable for cutting, while the remainder becomes supporting details.
The line combines heritage designs with subtle refinements. The City II Oxfords, for instance, have been given a more elegant outline. The Sennen model gained refined buckles and a reinforced sole. The Lopez model, introduced in the mid-20th century, received subtle color and sole innovations. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah trainers, which are produced yearly in a mix of colors and materials.
Through its dedication to craftsmanship, John Lobb continues to be a defining name in world-class shoemaking.
