Collection: John Lobb

John Lobb occupies a singular position between bespoke heritage and modern ready-to-wear. Founded in 1866, the house became synonymous with English shoemaking at its most exacting, before being acquired by Hermès in 1976. Ready-to-wear shoes are made in Northampton using traditional Goodyear-welted construction, informed by the brand’s bespoke archive. John Lobb is particularly known for formal shoes defined by proportion, restraint, and precision rather than ornament. Alan Flusser has referred to John Lobb as “the ultimate reference for English dress shoes.” Its appeal lies in footwear that communicates authority through correctness and lineage rather than trend.
