John Lobb shoemakers is one of the leading 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 Hermes Group has owned the company since 1976, the factory is dedicated to preserving the traditional production process developed in the 1800s.
Modern machines are present but secondary. For example, 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 blade hitting the cutting table. With feather knives, they cut the hides manually.
Production is limited, with only 450–500 pairs made each week. This approach resembles bespoke work. 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.
Similar to Hermes, John Lobb sources the best-quality hides, particularly from young French calf hides. Only slightly more than half of the leather is appropriate for main shoe parts, while the remainder becomes supporting details.
The range combines timeless classics with subtle refinements. The City II Oxfords, for instance, now feature a sleeker silhouette. The Sennen model gained refined buckles and a thicker sole. The Lopez loafers, introduced in 1950, now include a rubber sole and fresh shades. Newer icons include the Porth model and the Levah trainers, which are offered annually in different shades and textures.
Through its commitment to tradition and quality, John Lobb stands as one of the pillars in world-class shoemaking.
