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.
We think they are great, but hear it direct from someone who should know.

“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.

Euro | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 |
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.

After reading all the reviews properly l bought a pair of these.
Great look, great style and soft comfortable leather.
I’ve got wide feet and wear size 11 so bought the 11s and they are perfect.
I’ll probably buy the other colour now as they are just so good.

I love the shape of these loafers.just how I remember them around 1971-72. I normally wear a size 8 in shoes but I’m really more a 71/2. I ordered these in a 7 and they fit great.a little loose but nothing to worry about. Perfect along side my brouges and boxtops. Thanks mod shoes for your speedy delivery and quality shoes.

The tassled loafers do look nice but I owned many pairs through the late 1960s to 1970s and all of mine were leather tops heels and soles. And not forgetting leather lined so as much as this company would like to think these are based on the original loafers there not sorry. Also I used to wear mine with my navy Crombie and my two tone trousers and of course my Ben Sherman shirts.

As always, fast, efficient and top notch service from Mod Shoes. I’ve lived in Loake loafers for the past 30 years or so, but seeing these had to have a pair, reminded me of my first Frank Wrights. Was a bit worried ordering half a size down, but they fit really well. Nice soft, comfortable leather, felt a wave of nostalgia putting them on for the first time. Wore them at home for a couple of hours the day they arrived, then worn for an allnighter just a week later…..spot on, looked great, felt good, no blisters.

Quick and efficient delivery. These loafers are brilliant in every way. Comfortable and made from quality leather. Exactly like the ones I wore decades ago. I bought a size below my normal size as suggested and then used the hairdryer to allow them to grow slightly. Result- a perfect fit. Highly recommend these shoes.

These are probably the best loafer’s I have ever owned. So comfortoble and stylish.
Unfortunately I lent mine to a young 16 year old who is wooing the girls.
Looks like i will never see them again.
