They only made 2 pairs of each size for a total of 20 pairs. I bought the last 7, and 7.5 was bought by a dear friend (last pair of that). Leather quality and overall finishing is the best I’ve ever seen in a shoe. I’ve acquired 7 pairs of Lobbs in the past 2.5 years
I will not get toe plates with anyone other than Lobb. My other pair of bespoke lobbs that were resoled in Paris had the toe plates placed there. I live in Los Angeles so not sure if there is even a local cobbler qualified to work on handmade shoes like this.
John Lobb told me they would not send the shoes back to Paris for the toe plates. They have a local cobbler in NYC that they use for these types of jobs.
do you all use saphir products or stick to John lobb branded polishes and wax?
