The John Lobb brand is one of the leading manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that became famous as a core of the shoe industry in the seventeenth century. Although Hermes Group has owned the company since 1976, the factory continues to uphold the craft techniques developed in the 1800s.
Although machinery exists, tradition dominates. For instance, lasers are not used to cut leather. Instead, lasers create plastic patterns, which are handed to specialized artisans called clickers. Their title comes from the clicking sound of the knife blade hitting the cutting table. With special blades, they shape the leather in the old-fashioned way.
Production is limited, with only roughly 450 to 500 pairs made each week. This approach feels like near-bespoke manufacturing. Employees work on multiple models daily, instead of repeating one routine step like in typical factories. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welted technology, allowing the soles to be replaced without damaging the upper.
In line with Hermes, John Lobb sources the best-quality hides, particularly from young French calf hides. Only 60% of each hide is appropriate for main shoe parts, while the remainder becomes smaller accessories.
The range combines heritage designs with subtle refinements. The classic City II model, for instance, were slightly reshaped. The Sennen model gained longer straps 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 trainers, which are produced yearly in different shades and textures.
Through its dedication to craftsmanship, John Lobb continues to be a defining name in English shoemaking.
