John Lobb Bootmaker is a company that manufactures and retails a very exclusive luxury brand of shoes and boots mainly for men, but also for women.

It is based near St James's Palace, at 9 St James's Street, London.

Founded in 1849, Lobb is one of England's oldest makers of bench-made shoes.

At Lobb, special care is taken to select the fine leather skinswith crocodile skin shoes for about USD 8000 at the top of the range.

The original, family-owned Lobb still handmakes shoes one pair at a time, while Herms who acquired use of the John Lobb name in 1976 broadened the reach of the John Lobb brandname through its ready-to-wear line.

The production of each pair of John Lobb ready-to-wear shoes is so time-consuming that only about 100 pairs of shoes are finished per day.
