Story & heritage

John Lobb's Pace editorial describes the style as a supple loafer that takes inspiration from the shape of Lopez and the glove-making-inflected construction of Bath. It is the house's answer to an urban-casual loafer rather than a formal penny loafer.

Materials & craft

The official page notes an unlined upper, glove stitching, a Blake-stitched rubber sole and a padded sock. John Lobb also points to the padded, subtly stitched saddle as a detail inspired by high-end sports cars.

How to choose & style

Pace is the most relaxed way into the brand. It makes sense with unstructured jackets, washed trousers and lighter seasonal fabrics where a classic welted loafer might feel too formal.
