Monk Facts

There are few things as English as the rubber galosh or overshoe. Unfortunately they were not always the most elegant looking way of keeping water off your shoes, until now: John Lobb has collaborated with Swims to produce an overshoe befitting the Lobb name. Smooth curves and minimalist design complement a tapered heel to create what is undeniably the finest overshoe that money can buy. Made from high quality thermoplastic polyurethane, the galosh is both elastic and durable, perfect for those tempestuous days when you are unwilling to compromise on wearing your favourite shoes. Founded in London in 1866, John Lobb has been making some of the world’s finest shoes for almost 150 years. This rich heritage is founded upon a relentless commitment to expert craftsmanship and timeless design. It takes 190 individual steps to make a pair of John Lobb shoes, a process that proves the company’s devotion to excellence.
