The John Lobb brand is among the most renowned manufacturers in Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a shoemaking capital in the seventeenth century. Although Hermes Group has owned the company since 1976, the factory is dedicated to preserving the craft techniques developed in the 1800s.

Modern machines are present but secondary. For instance, the laser is not applied directly to the hides. Instead, plastic patterns are made, which are handed to clickers. Their title comes from the characteristic snap of the knife blade hitting the cutting table. With feather knives, they cut the hides manually.

Production is limited, with only 450–500 pairs made each week. This approach feels like near-bespoke manufacturing. Employees often handle many designs in a single 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 line combines iconic staples with contemporary tweaks. The classic City II model, for instance, were slightly reshaped. The Sennen model gained longer straps and a reinforced sole. The Lopez loafers, introduced in 1950, received subtle color and sole innovations. Newer icons include the Porth sneakers and the Levah trainers, which are offered annually in various colors and materials.

Through its commitment to tradition and quality, John Lobb stands as one of the pillars in the British footwear industry.
