We are really pleased to be able to offer these shoes. Modshoes has the exclusive on these and you wont find them anywhere else !
Based on a pair of shoes from the late 70s, these shoes evoke so many memories. Personally i can remember people round our way in these. Modshoes was lucky enough to have a friend that had owned a pair since 1981, which we think, was the last time you could actually buy something like this.
Almost impossible to find TRUE basket weave tassel loafers in this style these days, you get the odd pair on ebay, but they are not common place.
The shoes look really good in real life. In terms of wearing i had a pair on my feet straight out the box at Skeggy Northern Soul weekender recently, and report no issues at all. They felt great and comfortable with no rubbing.
Be aware like all loafers, they will grow up to 1/4 of an inch after 2 hours or so. These did for me.
In terms of sizing these are very true to UK sizing, so stick with your UK size. Be aware they are roomy in style so if this is your first pair of loafers in a while do expect them to feel wider than normal High Street shoes.
Specs
Upper Leather
Sole Leather
Sizes 6 – 12
Here are some images of the shoes with Trousers. We did these shots so you could see the shoes with trousers you possibly own already, and get a feel for how they look.

Great pair of shoes very comfortable .
Choose a size smaller than normally would buy
Leather soul is great on wooden dance floor.
Got these in black and they are smart with both jeans or stapress.
So pleased I am going for a pair of oxblood next.

These are awesome, i am the very proud owner of the Oxblood and Rude boy Tassle Loafers,
They were tight at first but now they fit like a glove and just love to wear them . to have these would complete my collection of the finest Mod Shoes made.

The Allnighters are the first shoe I have seen since the late 70’s/early 80’s that even come close to the original Frank Wright/ Faith Royals/George Cox loafers that were so dearly loved. With the added basketweave top they make a lovely shoe. Very comfortable and nice soft leather to boot!
Mark Garrett –
The All nighters are a superb fit, bit tight at first but soon loosen up as leather is so soft. Will be buying others in the future.
James –
They look very smart,had a pair very similar when i was a young Skinhead at the beginning of the 70s, might have to be a treat for myself.

Superb. I’ve been looking for basket weaves since forever ! These are so comfortable and I’m the only person in Singapore with them !

Lovely pair of shoes and nicely different- an unusual twist on a classic.
I’ve bought several pairs of shoes now from Mod Shoes – because they never fail to deliver. Usually the next day!
Can’t fault the quality, can’t fault the service.
Excellent all round.

Clive (Verified Purchase) –
I absolutely love these loafers they look even better than in the pics so well made and comfortable cannot recommend highly enough and they take me back to school days in the 70s superb quick service as well
Steve Barker –
These take me back to the 70s! Comfortable and look great with jeans or two-tone trousers. As with most loafers, the fit is looser so would recommend sizing down as I did. Well made from quality leather.
Ian smith (Verified Purchase) –
A very good quality shoe. Not worn a pair of loafers since back in the day. Bought a size down and wore them straight from the box for a night out,comfortable and smart would highly recommend.
Martin Collins –
Like all of my purchases from ModShoes these are of excellent quality and a pleasure to wear.
True to size and a perfectly comfortable fit after a couple of wears.
Ian Reid (Verified Purchase) –
Fitted perfectly and really comfortable. Look great with chinos too
John Shepherd (Verified Purchase) –
Saw the basket weave loafers and just liked the style and they were on offer so used birthday money to get them, the service from Modshoes was brilliant and the shoes are fantastic really comfortable and smart they are my go to shoes when I go out
The Farquharson (Verified Purchase) –
I have a wider size 8 fit and these shoes fitted perfectly after 20 – 30 minutes, no pressure points or sloppy fit. On top of which, these are one of the most stylish pairs of shoes I own, vying with my Prince loafers for first choice. Oxbloods will probably be next.

My first pair of loafer coasters in 1979 from brassitons went with my two tone tonic suit
Mark curwen (Verified Purchase) –
