John Lobb shoemakers is one of the leading manufacturers in Northampton, a city that became famous as a center of footwear production in the 1600s. Although the brand has been under Hermes since 1976, the factory continues to uphold the traditional production process developed in the 19th century.
Although machinery exists, tradition dominates. For instance, lasers are not used to cut leather. Instead, lasers create plastic patterns, which are handed to specialized artisans called clickers. Their title comes from the clicking sound of the knife blade hitting the cutting table. With feather knives, they carve the leather by hand.
Production is intentionally small, with only no more than five hundred pairs made each week. This approach resembles bespoke work. Employees work on multiple models daily, instead of repeating one routine step like in assembly-line workshops. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welted technology, allowing the soles to be replaced without damaging the upper.
As with Hermes, John Lobb sources the best-quality hides, particularly from young French calf hides. Only slightly more than half of the leather is appropriate for main shoe parts, while the remainder becomes minor leather goods.
The line combines heritage designs with contemporary tweaks. The City II black Oxfords, for instance, have been given a more elegant outline. The Sennen model gained elongated straps and a more robust foundation. The Lopez loafers, introduced in the mid-20th century, were updated with new colors and rubber soles. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah sneakers, which are offered annually in various colors and materials.
Through its dedication to craftsmanship, John Lobb continues to be one of the pillars in English shoemaking.
