The Appeal of Full Bespoke, the Origin of John Lobb

John Lobb's bespoke order events are by appointment only. Foot measurements are taken, and designs and materials are selected through consultation with the craftsman.

Approximately four months after measurement, a fitting and adjustment are made using a trial shoe developed by John Lobb for the fitting process. The finished product is then delivered about eight months after the order is placed.

Bespoke, a tradition boasting nearly 150 years of history since John Lobb's founding. Seize this opportunity to acquire a work of art, completed with uncompromising dedication to the finest materials, the skills and techniques of master craftsmen, and the pursuit of beautiful form.
