WE WANT THE PRINCE !!
That’s what Madness told us in 1979. A classic debut single on Two Tone, and yes it’s why our new Tassel Loafers are called “The Prince”.
We had these shoes developed as I really wanted to reproduce the classic Tassel Loafer, just how I remembered them back in the day. Notice the cutaway where the Tassels are held. Also observe the extra stitching on the band. These are also slightly wider than other makes.
We are extremely pleased with the results, as you can see here.
SIZING
In terms of sizing they are fairly true to size, if you are between sizes then probably best go down a size. 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.
The soles are leather, the upper is an Oxblood mix.
Sizes 6 – 12
Also in Black.

I love these shoes ! They are of a timeless style, and for the huskier gentleman carrying a wider foot they are perfect. Often it is a relief to kick your shoes off at the end of the day, but I sleep in these.

These shoes are wonderful very comfortable and they take me back 30 years to what I was wearing as a teenage mod.
Paul Hogan –
First rate delivery times and not disappointed when they arrived well packaged and looking good but more important than all that , they were so comfortable straight away (no breaking in needed ) and the oxblood colour was spot on . Next on my list are the black tasseled latice shoes .

These are just lovely great colour great style very well made my husband is delighted. I would just like to add my husband does have a wide foot and I had to go for a size bigger so had to return the first pair but the service was exceptional I couldn’t believe how quickly they arrived and they fit like a glove ….

23rd January 2017.I bought my husband the prince oxblood loafers & he was so impressed with the fit & look of them he bought the black loafers three days later.
David FARMER –
I tipped my mate off about these shoes after seeing them on this site, so we both ordered a black and an oxblood pair, 2 pairs each. They arrived today and they are awesome, a beautiful well made shoe, with excellent style. They feel extremely comfortable and fit perfectly,(I’m usually an 8 but ordered a 7). I’m in Australia and it took a week and a 1/2 or two to get here.
Not bad Mod Shoes.

I fancied a pair of these for months and always waited until one day i thought sod it i’m having a pair, i’d had Frank Wright ones in the eighties and really liked the look of them. They looked just like the originals in every way so that was it they were ordered, no going back. What a decision that was, as soon as the arrived i checked em over as you do and was extremely pleased to find they arrived well on time and the quality was better than i was expecting, the colour was superb, along with the stitching and manufacture overall was top notch. Then came the moment to get them on, i always remembered years ago it always took a short while to wear new ones in, however i didn’t experience that with these at all from day one and still to this day they have been super comfortable. I will definetly be purchasing more shoes from Mod Shoes, if they all arrive as good as these then my only dissapointment is that i didn’t find this site sooner.
Brilliant shoes, no need to add anything further, other than order these now you will not be dissapointed.

Beautiful colour,good balance of tassel to frill, nice thick stiched welt at back,immediately unbelievably comfy especially the width and they sound good too.
The service was exceptional, the packaging was great loved the flyers in there, the delivery was reliable as promised (somewhat rare theese days) , had loads of compliments and enquiries and totally recommended the company , love it I will not be buying my shoes anywhere else in future.
(Reasonable prices too)

“I love my Prince Loafers, listen to the advice you may well need a size below your normal foot size, but when you wear them in they’re wonderful and they look the biz too”
Garry Williams –
Very well made shoes, comfortable from the moment you put them on to when you take them off, the colour is perfect they look good with jeans / trousers or Chinos, people have commented on them and I’ve pointed them to this site, they say you get what you pay for in this case you get a lot more for your money, very satisfied customer
Neil Rolls –
Bought these a few months back, best shoes I have ever purchased. Really comfortable, look amazing and takes me back to my younger days.
Chris McCarthy –
Great service, fantastic pair of shoes, very comfortable, worn straight out of the box.
Eduardo Jiménez –
These shoes are very elegant and the color is uniform. However, it is advisable to order a larger size if, like me, you have wide feet.
Michael Longley –
Awesome pair of Shoes ordered 2 Pairs from the other side of the world in New Zealand arrived quickly fitted perfectly still going 3years later and still look immaculate.
EmperorH –
Another lovely pair of shoes from Mod Shoes. Received several compliments on their first outing.
And great service to boot (groan!).
Here’s a personal example of why you can shop online confidently with Mod Shoes …
The only occasion I had to send back a pair (I had misjudged the size), they didn’t have the required amended size in stock.
Problem? Nope – I received a call from the boss himself (Andrew of Mod Shoes video fame!) explaining that they could only offer a refund – which was promptly paid into my account the next day.
Customer service can hardly get better than that, the only problem in that instance was that I couldn’t have the shoes I wanted!
Ivor Norton –
On opening the box I was immediately transported back to my youth club days, they were just as I remembered. Very comfy straight out of the box. I’d been looking for these for some time now but these are top quality at half the price of any others I’d found ! Sturdy and well made with excellent delivery service.
Brian Conyers –
Bought these a few years back and they are still going strong. Very comfortable and great for dancing in and well worth the investment
Bob BAILEY –
When people ask me where i bought these lovely shoes, i know that they look good !!. I feel good in them, very comfortable to wear all day & it takes me back to the 70’s. Perfect. my third pair of shoes from Mod shoes & all are great !!!
Billy Morris –
For style and comfort these can’t be beat ,got these for my wedding in August but will need another pair as I can’t take them off .
andrew thornley –
Wow what a great pair of shoes 5 stars
John Sciberras –
Got these shoes for a Xmas present,went down a size on the advice of the website, thought I’d made a mistake when I first wore them but within a few hours they fitted like a glove. Takes me back to 1981 when I thought I was the business skanking to the 2 Tone bands of that time.Brilliant service and next on my list are the Loake oxblood brogues.
Robert Hillier –
Worth getting an instagram account for! Went down a size as advised, 1 day of wear at home had them fitting perfectly. I wear them with a navy suit and coloured socks – they look the business and gives a great look to normally tiresome “business attire”. They may be “retro” but look and feel ultra fashionable!
michaelmenegos –
Smashing colour, excellent crafting, lovely details, a work of art!
Robert Moore –
Fantastic quality. Slightly tight to begin with, as warned, but the leather soon softens to your foot shape. “If you’re not in the mood to dance, Step back, grab yourself a street”… These will keep you going all night.
grant mcallister –
Excellent shoes, very well made & very comfortable straight out the box
Mick Stannard –
So I decided to treat myself to a pair of Prince Tassel Loafers in Oxblood. Was a bit concerned as it’s more than I would normally have paid but I needn’t have worried. They arrived quickly and opening the package was a joy in itself. I’m a standard foot width so went with size . As soon as I put them on I was 16 again and within 15 minutes they’d warmed up nicely and were ready to wear out. I couldn’t be happier. Have since bought 2 more pairs of shoes from Mod Shoes. Service and quality are both right up there and I’m sure to darken their door again soon!

Absolutely love these shoes! They look great casual or more formal,very comfortable too. Well worth every penny!
Mick –
Excellent well made comfy really smart shoes along with really speedy delivery. One thing though , I went down a size as suggested and they were too small. I returned shoes and had a new delivery within 5 days. I must. Have wide feet I guess as the new my size shoes fit perfectly. Will be ordering a black pair soon
E Mckenna –
Bought as a gift for my husband. WOW. Excellent fit/quality and comfort. Worth every penny. Superb service from Mod Shoes and will buy again. Thankyou Mod Shoes.

Should be more stars !!! I bought a pair of these nearly 2 years ago . From day 1 they were as comfortable as a pair of slippers. I wear them out in my stay press or at work in a suit . Always get compliments. Love them . Would recommend Mod shoes to anyone.

Have just purchased these shoes for my sons wedding, absolutely brilliant fit my feet perfectly & bring back all the memories of 1979 when i got my first pair at 16, quality.
Matt –
Best pair of loafers I have ever owned and I’ve had Loake, Bass etc. Fantastic quality. Sizing advice is spot on, I’m normally a 8 1/2 or 9 and went for 8 Bit snug to start with but fit perfectly after a few hours wear. Looking forward to my next Modshoes purchase as can’t rate highly enough
