John Lobb is one of the leading manufacturers in Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a core of the shoe industry in the 17th century. Although it became part of the Hermes Group in 1976, the factory is dedicated to preserving the methods developed in the 19th century.
Technology is used, but sparingly. For instance, the laser is not applied directly to the hides. Instead, plastic patterns are made, which are handed to skilled cutters known as clickers. Their title comes from the characteristic snap of the knife striking the cutting table. With traditional knives, they shape the leather in the old-fashioned way.
Production is limited, with only no more than five hundred pairs made each week. This approach feels like near-bespoke manufacturing. 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 the worn sole to be changed without damaging the upper.
As with Hermes, John Lobb uses exceptional materials, particularly from premium French calfskin. Only slightly more than half of the leather is appropriate for main shoe parts, while the remainder becomes smaller accessories.
The collection combines iconic staples with contemporary tweaks. The classic City II model, for instance, have been given a more elegant outline. The Sennen shoes gained longer straps and a reinforced sole. The Lopez loafers, introduced in the 1950s, were updated with new colors and rubber soles. Newer icons include the Porth sneakers and the Levah shoes, which are offered annually in various colors and materials.
Through its balance of heritage and innovation, John Lobb continues to be one of the pillars in the British footwear industry.
