“The Charles” by Mod Shoes
We love the design of these, we deliberately styled them with a wider front. There are a lot of different brogues out there, but they tend to have a more pointed toe, which is exactly what we were avoiding with these.
The design is very late 60’s early 70’s and we feel that they are very evocative of the great Northern Soul & Original Reggae & Ska era. We can see these shoes worn with denim jeans through to trousers, and of course smart suits as well. The brogue is such a versatile shoe, smart enough for work or special occasions, but also great to wear to the pub with jeans.
The leather is super soft on these, the same as we used for our Monkey boots & Big Shot boots and will also take a good polish. This means you can get a great aged look. The soft leather means as well, these will require a lot less wearing in.
The sole is thick leather, so if you are thinking for dancing , these will really fit the bill !
One reviewer said this
“I cant believe how incredibly soft the leather is on first putting them on & no need to break them in. Incredibly comfy and look dead nice with Levi 2 piece.
Highly recommended & will buy another pair for myself soon, my Mrs wants a pair too now for on the Scooter.”

These are great, and as wide as I remember them in my youth, with super soft leather that took no wearing in. I bought the oxblood, but intend to get a pair in black.

This wider-toe Brogue in black was exactly what I was looking for. Lovely thick sole and soft uppers. Must say though I would have expected a thicker lace to go with them?

Superb! Really love these. The reason I bought these was they looked virtually like my Frank Wright ones. As soon as I opened the box, I was well impressed. Great fit, super comfortable and great detailing along with a well finished thick leather sole. Going to get the tan ones! Nice one Mod Shoes.
