Luxury footwear
In short: Luxury footwear at this level comes down to two enduring shapes: the cap-toe oxford and the penny loafer. This selection pairs John Lobb's City II oxford and Lopez loafer with Edward Green's Chelsea oxford and Piccadilly loafer, ranging from 1,595 to 1,980 USD at MR PORTER. Each is built in burnished or full-grain leather, with Edward Green's pairs made in Northampton.
What is here
4 pieces are listed today, priced from $1,595 to $1,980, from 2 brands including John Lobb, Edward Green, sold by MR PORTER. Each piece links to the seller's own product page; the price shown is read from that page and re-checked while the piece is listed.
What to check before you buy
Confirm the size in the maker's own scale and the width, and read the seller's returns policy before buying shoes unseen. Goodyear-welted and Blake-stitched shoes can be resoled; cemented ones usually cannot, which changes what a pair costs over its life.
Where the price comes from
Bench-made shoes carry the cost of hand work and of lasts kept for decades; large-brand sneakers and boots are priced on the brand. Both appear here at the retailer's price.
Authenticity
Buy from the maker or an authorised retailer that the maker lists as a stockist; a pair sold far below the maker's price by an unknown seller is a reason to walk away. Every link on this page goes to the seller's own product page for the exact pair.
