The Scorcher.
They are based exactly like the late 60s early 70s one. They have leather uppers, and man made sole, which is just like the ones we used as our source.
The leather is super soft on these and will not take hardly anytime to wear in.

“WOW they are so comfortable & do look the mutts nuts. Much better in the flesh than pics.
I wore them round the shops for a few hours today & they have already started to take shape on the fronts
On the leather, its top quality in the fact it’s stiff but easy to wear ( no blister so far ) im happy ?
Size wize im an 11 & these are 11s……& they fit me ok, a bit loose but thats how i like my shoes to fit, so you may need to go down a size if you after a tight fitting shoe.
For £112.00 you are getting a very good quality shoe that looks just as good as the 70s frank wrights of yester-year today.
?
Now im saving for a black pair”
SIZING
In terms of Sizing they are generous, meaning go down, not up, if unsure. These will grow up to 1/4 of inch after about 6 hours. When trying on please allow 15 mins for your foot to heat the shoes a bit, this will make the leather supple and comfy very quickly.
Sizes 6 – 12
Also in Oxblood.
Mens Sizing
We use the following size conversions. Please be aware that different designs are designed to be bigger than others. We try our best on the product page to mention sizing.

US | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 |
Please Note that are shoes are made mainly in Spain & Portugal and Euro to UK Conversion means that the shoes normally come up a little big. The reason is that a 43, is more like 9 and 1/4.

Very soft leather which is great because I have a high arch and most slip on’s are uncomfortable but these look great and feel great. A little roomy but nothing that insoles and heel grips couldn’t sort out.

These shoes are scorching hot. I have been waiting years for a real contender to the original Frank Wright loafers I wore in the late 70’s/early 80’s and these are them. They have all the right detail like the originals and I just love them. They fit right but if you don’t have wide feet just go down a size. The supple leather will stretch.

The day they arrived, I loved them so much that I took them to bed with me…. haven’t done that since I was nine.
