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 Hermes Group has owned the company since 1976, the factory is dedicated to preserving the methods developed in the Victorian era.

Technology is used, but sparingly. 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 characteristic snap of the knife striking the cutting table. With feather knives, they carve the leather by hand.

Production is carefully restricted, with only 450–500 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 chooses only the finest leather, particularly from six-month-old French calves. Only slightly more than half of the leather is suitable for cutting, while the remainder becomes smaller accessories.

The line combines iconic staples with modern updates. The City II black Oxfords, for instance, were slightly reshaped. The Sennen shoes gained longer straps and a more robust foundation. The Lopez model, introduced in 1950, received subtle color and sole innovations. Newer icons include the Porth model and the Levah trainers, which are produced yearly in various colors and materials.

Through its balance of heritage and innovation, John Lobb remains a benchmark in English shoemaking.
