John Lobb is among the most renowned manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that earned its reputation as a shoemaking capital in the 17th century. Although the brand has been under Hermes since 1976, the factory is dedicated to preserving the methods developed in the Victorian era.

Modern machines are present but secondary. For instance, lasers are not used to cut leather. Instead, plastic patterns are made, 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 special blades, they shape the leather in the old-fashioned way.

Production is intentionally small, with only roughly 450 to 500 pairs made each week. This approach resembles bespoke work. Employees switch between twenty shoe types in a day, instead of repeating one routine step like in mass-production plants. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welting, allowing the soles to be replaced without damaging the upper.

Similar to Hermes, John Lobb sources the best-quality hides, particularly from premium French calfskin. Only slightly more than half of the leather is suitable for cutting, while the remainder becomes smaller accessories.

The collection combines timeless classics with modern updates. The City II black Oxfords, for instance, have been given a more elegant outline. The Sennen shoes gained longer straps and a more robust foundation. The Lopez classic, introduced in the 1950s, now include a rubber sole and fresh shades. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah shoes, which are released each season in various colors and materials.

Through its dedication to craftsmanship, John Lobb remains one of the pillars in world-class shoemaking.
