This pair of cord shoes are based on a pair John Lennon wore at the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band press conference in 67. The Beatles were fans of the cord shoes, and you can see pics of them all in them at some point.
There are several reasons for wanting to have them made, and here they are
-
- We had loads of requests from customers
- Brian Jones & Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones can easily be seen in them on the cover of ‘High Tides’
- George Harrison had a pair very similar
- There are numerous 60’s groups wearing them
We designed the shoe with a man made sole as we wanted them to be more adaptable and versatile. They suit both smart and casual, are light, flexible and easy to wear. So we are thinking that there are a multitude of outfits these shoes we will work perfectly with.
The retro camel colour works well with denim, but we also think with white jeans, trousers, shorts, Jacket & trousers for cool mod summer look. It really does depend on the rest of the outfit.
Sizes 6 – 12
Upper: Corduroy Material

Sizing
These are slightly slim, so if you are wide, we would strongly advise going up. The style means that by going up, your feet don’t look overly big.

Nice shoes i thought i was a seven but prior to buying the cord shoes i bought some boots that came big in that size so bought a six fit and look quality

Great shoes! They feel very comfortable. I decided to stick to my size (11 UK) and that tiny quarter up means extra comfort on my feet. Fantastic. Can’t wait to see them with a bit of that street patina, I’m sure they look even better.

All my Modshoes shoes are 7 and all of them fit me perfectly after start using, so, my advice for this “The Lennon’s” is to stick with size

They look great to wear both with suit or casual outfits! I am happy I was able to quickly get ones on my size (7) when it was restocked!

Great shoes, stylish and unique. Have been asked about them a number of times and have told people about your website. Hoping you will have more sizes in the dark brown Elliot boot soon ?
Any chance of a purple pair as worn by George Harrison in the Lady Madonna/ Hey Bulldog promo ?
