JOHN LOBB Adelaide Cap-Toe Men Oxford Brogue Black Shoes 8.5 E + Shoe Tree NWOB​

Crafted with high-quality strong leather resistant to creases and lined with leather as well, these shoes are durable and long-lasting. The outsole and insole are also made of durable leather .John Lobb London Cap-Toe “Fiddle Vamp” Oxford Brogue The Adelaide model is available today without brogueing but this brogued version of 10 or more years ago is, in my estimation, not only one of the most elegant shoes ever produced by Lobb but superior in build to today’s production. Both the quality of the leather and the uncompromising last -notice the almost spade shaped sole- make for a wonderful shoe almost on a par with their current bespoke shoes. The fiddle shaped vamp is particularly pleasing. Little need be said about this good brand . John Lobb is in the top category of shoemakers in world. Shoes from Lobb are in the $1,400-$1,800 category and bespoke shoes about three times that price, $6,000. Shoe trees are now around $1,300. Marked Adelaide 8 1/2 E 869s. ( these shoes looks bespoke to me ) The approximate insole measurement toe to heel is 10.5” New and unworn. This is provided with the shoe tree ( shoe tree are sold separately but I’m providing it with the purchase ) . See pictures as part of the description
