The “Ricco” is inspired by a pair of vintage ‘Bowling Shoes’ the MD of Mod Shoes sourced many years ago.
He always wanted to recreate them, but with a trainer sole
As much as we love smart shoes, we also love the simplicity and casual styling of the old school trainers
There were many considerations behind the development of the Ricco, a major one being the desire to create footwear that is still looks stylish when you are dressing casually. For those times when you are popping to the pub, going shopping, or out for the day with mates. Also we wanted something that was “old school”. Some high street brands do the odd retro styling, but then make it in tiny numbers, at limited shops, so that 99% of us don’t get a look in. If they do make a retro style, their designers always tweak it and try to appeal to both retro and modern. Our thoughts were it must look authentic and be as simple but as cool as possible.
The Ricco is true to size, made of good leather requiring little wearing in. To say we are pleased with the results is an understatement.
In terms of styling , they are perfect with with jeans or shorts. You may notice that we have teamed them up with Gabicci tops, but there are loads of tops that the range of colours will work well with.
Sizing Advice – These are roomy, i am 8.5 and had an 8, they wore extremely quickly. After a few days very very comfortable. One of the staff here at Mod Shoes agrees they are easily our most comfortable trainer yet, and he especially likes the padded inner

Superb pair of trainers. Don’t normally pay nearly £100 for a pair of trainers but these have definitely been worth it! Lovely texture on the leather and they fit like a glove straight from the box. Been wearing them with the blue laces with jeans, will swap to white laces when the the shorts come out!

I purchased the blue version of these and I’ve waiting for many months for the white version to become available in my size. Quite simply, if the mod look is your thing, these are the very best trainers available, They’re smart, adaptable, excellent quality and extremely comfortable, And believe me, they definitely turn heads! If they’re available in your size now, get them while you can, because they soon sell out.
