John Lobb (London) as well as John Lobb (Paris) have always finished black shoes with an all-black sole and waist. Someone ought to tell these venerable firms, they are letting the (bespoke) side down by using such an easy 'factory-technique'.
Bespoke shoes by John Lobb (Paris), made for member 'manton'.

If I read correctly, he didn't say it was a factory technique but rather that it should be adoptable quite easily for a factory.
Why would it look any better or worse?
Opaque finishes on soles (black or brown or even cinnabar) are a lot easier to do than transparent "natural" finishes. And less dependent on the vagaries of the outsole.
Sure, from a craftsmanship's point of view, it may not look all that appealing.
But it looks like a lady in a tight black dress.....simple but quite appealing.....anyone agree???
