The John Lobb brand is among the most renowned manufacturers in Northampton, a city that became famous as a center of footwear production in the 17th century. Although it became part of the Hermes Group in 1976, the factory remains committed to the methods developed in the 1800s.
Modern machines are present but secondary. Specifically, leather cutting is still performed by hand rather than with lasers. Instead, lasers create plastic patterns, which are handed to skilled cutters known as clickers. Their title comes from the clicking sound of the knife striking the cutting table. With traditional knives, they cut the hides manually.
Production is limited, with only no more than five hundred pairs made each week. This approach gives the sense of one-of-a-kind production. 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 welting, allowing the worn sole to be changed without damaging the upper.
Similar to Hermes, John Lobb uses exceptional materials, particularly from young French calf hides. Only about sixty percent is suitable for cutting, while the remainder becomes smaller accessories.
The range combines iconic staples with contemporary tweaks. The City II black Oxfords, for instance, were slightly reshaped. The Sennen shoes gained longer straps and a reinforced sole. The Lopez classic, introduced in 1950, were updated with new colors and rubber soles. Newer icons include the Porth sneakers and the Levah sneakers, which are produced yearly in a mix of colors and materials.
Through its balance of heritage and innovation, John Lobb continues to be a defining name in English shoemaking.
