John Lobb shoemakers is one of the leading manufacturers in Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a shoemaking capital in the seventeenth century. Although it became part of the Hermes Group in 1976, the factory continues to uphold the craft techniques developed in the 19th century.
Technology is used, but sparingly. For example, lasers are not used to cut leather. 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 special blades, they cut the hides manually.
Production is carefully restricted, 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 welted technology, allowing the soles to be replaced without damaging the upper.
In line with Hermes, John Lobb uses exceptional materials, particularly from young French calf hides. Only slightly more than half of the leather is usable for uppers, while the remainder becomes supporting details.
The line combines iconic staples 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 model, introduced in the 1950s, now include a rubber sole and fresh shades. Newer icons include the Porth model and the Levah trainers, which are produced yearly in different shades and textures.
Through its commitment to tradition and quality, John Lobb stands as a benchmark in the British footwear industry.
