John Lobb Limited Edition 'Saint Crespin' shoe for 2011.

John Lobb's annual tradition continues, with each year they release a limited edition shoe which either surprises us with it's originality and detail, or shock's us with it's dull same-ness and ludicrous pricing.

For 2011, John Lobb's Limited edition shoe is more stuck between the two, the Saint Crespin shoe cannot be called unnatractive, a prestige made pain cap toe oxford shoe, elegantly crafted with finely wheeled welts, hand sculpted waists, tapered heels and round soled bottoms, it will be the belle of pretty much any ball, however, at the end of the day they are still just a pretty pair of oxford shoes.

Available in Prune Suede, Dark brown suede and dark brown museum calf, they are priced at £1000 per pair, and like all limited edition's of the past come with a free pair of shoe trees for whatever size you purchase.
