These are the ladies version of the very popular “Prince” tassel loafer, with the addition of the “Tea- Bag” perforation detail on the front. They are an absolute classic in terms of style, and have all the correct details just like the ones that we wore “back in the day”.
These shoes really evoke memories of the Ska and Two Tone days, where you would see countless people wearing them. The leather sole makes them excellent purchase if dancing is important for you, we are thinking “Northern Soul” in particular
The shoes are all leather including leather sole . In terms of the styling, they have been faithfully recreated from an original model from the early 80’s
Straight out of the box they are very comfortable.
Please Note, we are offering these at a discounted price from our normal Ladies Prince. This is for a limited time only, There was an issue at the factory and the wrong heel branding was used. So you will see a slight mark which does not affect wearability or quality at all.
PLEASE BE AWARE, these are a scaled down version of the men’s Prince. The sizing for ladies is good, but they are a little wider than high street shoes. The sizing is also based on men’s sizing ie the size UK 5 is a Euro 39 which is about half a size bigger than a regular ladies 5. You may wish to try a size smaller, or take two sizes to find the best fit. You can return the less well-fitting pair for free (UK mainland only)
Also when trying the shoes on, they must be snug and not loose. A loafer grows by about 1/8 to 1/4 inch after 4 – 5 hours. Our advice is if you try them and they are loose, send them straight back for a smaller size. If they are a little snug put on some thick socks and watch telly for 4 – 5 hours and they will be good.

Hi Iv rated my loafer a 5 because they are beautiful shoes .
However the size is a bit of an experiment for me as I have ordered a 4 instead of 5 as my last pair of mod shoes were too big .
As expected the 4 are snug and bit tight on toes but I can slip shoe on & off easily . I have followed advice & sat with them on for 20 mins in sitting position . Iv walked about & they are still nipping toes . Because they do have natural leather stretch Iv decided to take to cobblers & see if they can be stretched slightly without losing their shape . I will keep you posted as I know for people like me who dance in these shoes it’s important to get right fit . Shame they are not made in half sizes .
I didn’t go for option of inner sole in the size 5 in case they weren’t snug enough for dancing .Hope this feedback is useful

Lovely shoes, fantastic quality. I’m usually a 5 but these came up a bit big, so inner soles needed. Be great if they came in half sizes. Inner soles will do the trick.

Oh so comfortable. I wore these after wearing them inside for a few hours and although the leather is thick and the shoes seem stiff when you put them on, they fit like a glove. I ordered a second pair in black, which are slightly wider but also very comfortable. True to size – a little roomy but I like being able to wear socks with them not just tights. Highly recommend.
