Your Own Perfect Pair, Made to Order

Your Personal Masterpiece Shoe, Crafted to Order
There are many items in the world called "lifelong treasures." However, most of these refer to valuable ready-made products. While acquiring such masterpieces is indeed essential for cultivating one's personal refinement, the true allure of By Request lies elsewhere.
When one thinks of custom orders, the image is of creating a unique piece that reflects one's personal taste. However, JOHN LOBB's By Request features established base styles.
This allows for personal touches and arrangements, so you can retain the design of a masterpiece while adding a sophisticated twist.
This is ideal for shoe aficionados; popular models like the "WILLIAM" can be ordered with thick rubber soles, and by combining different uppers and soles, they can be adapted to be either modern or classic.
Expanded Choices for Buckles and Rubber Soles
While the Prestige line is exclusively available with leather soles, the Classic line now offers the option to combine the new rubber sole with the traditional one. With options like the thick heavy lug sole and the classic rubber sole, a successor to the October, even the choice of sole allows for a unique finish not found in standard models. Additionally, buckles are available in gunmetal, rose gold, silver, and yellow gold.
Rather than seeking something entirely different, the goal is to acquire a lifelong treasure by adding an essence of "self" within a beautiful design. JOHN LOBB's By Request is perfectly suited for the adult man who desires just that. The true essence of menswear lies in how one can express individuality while adhering to the disciplined framework of rules.
Sizes: Available for sizes (5-12) and widths (D-EE) not offered in all models.
Price: Normally, a surcharge of 30% of the list price applies, but the surcharge is waived during the fair period.
Delivery: Approximately 8 months
