The John Lobb brand is among the most renowned manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that earned its reputation as a core of the shoe industry in the seventeenth century. Although the brand has been under Hermes since 1976, the factory remains committed to the craft techniques developed in the 1800s.

Although machinery exists, tradition dominates. For instance, leather cutting is still performed by hand rather than with lasers. Instead, plastic patterns are made, which are handed to specialized artisans called clickers. Their title comes from the characteristic snap of the knife blade hitting the cutting table. With feather knives, they cut the hides manually.

Production is intentionally small, with only no more than five hundred pairs made each week. This approach feels like near-bespoke manufacturing. Employees often handle many designs in a single day, instead of repeating one routine step like in typical factories. Every shoe is built with the Goodyear method, allowing the soles to be replaced without damaging the upper.

As with Hermes, John Lobb sources the best-quality hides, particularly from premium French calfskin. Only about sixty percent is appropriate for main shoe parts, while the remainder becomes minor leather goods.

The range combines iconic staples with contemporary tweaks. The City II Oxfords, for instance, were slightly reshaped. The Sennen model gained refined buckles and a reinforced sole. The Lopez loafers, introduced in the mid-20th century, received subtle color and sole innovations. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah sneakers, which are produced yearly in different shades and textures.

Through its dedication to craftsmanship, John Lobb stands as a benchmark in English shoemaking.
