The Dusty
These stylish shoes have a real retro feel and we absolutely love them ! Called “The Dusty” after 60’s icon Dusty Springfield, we feel that these gorgeous shoes will suit those looking for the elegance of 40’s, 50’s and 60’s styling. They look amazing with a dress, but work equally well with jeans or casuals. The Dusty really is the “go to” shoe for any occasion.
If you are looking for a shoe that combines elegance with all day comfort, then the Dusty is the one for you. The heel height is 3 inches, but because of the sturdy block shape, you just don’t feel that “wobble” that makes a more spindly high heel a scary prospect !
You will see from the numerous fab reviews how much our customers love their Dustys. In fact they can prove addictive, many customers come back again and again for more colours to add to their collection.
As far as sizing is concerned, the Dusty is fairly true to normal UK size. If you are between sizes, then probably best to go down rather than up. Width-wise they are generous and should accommodate most widths of feet.
The black patent leather, has such a classic look about it, especially when combined with the contrast white piping. Notice the check detail on the heel, which give the Dusty it’s iconic quirky look. Take a look at the pictures below, and you can see just how unique and beautiful these shoes are.
The shoes are made for us in Spain, by a small, exclusive company that specialise in small runs and retro style.

Got these for my wife. She loves them especially the deign on the heel
Carol Cunningham –
I love my shoes. The video recommends getting a size smaller than you normally wear and it is very good advice. I have a wide foot and normally wear a size six but went for a size 5 and that was definitely the way to go.
This isn’t against Mod Shoes but more against APC delivery company and I feel people should be aware. APC only delivers Monday through Friday (no weekend deliveries) 8am to 4pm so if you’re not in, it’s best to get your shoes from a local APC depot which is what I had to do.
Andrew Lindsay –
Hi Carol
Sorry about your experience with APC. We do work closely with them to “Iron Out” problems as they happen.
Its a problem for a lot of courier delivery companies. Meaning they need a signature and the client / customer to be in. At modshoes we can send where ever you want, so relations, work, friend who is at home etc.
Anyone reading this and being worried, please dont as our phone operators can change a delivery address after you have placed an order, and there is a section for shipping to be a different place to home.
Hope that helps everyone
Modshoes

Love these! Good quality, comfortable, and worth every penny. I bought one size down as recommended.
Rachael Butler –
I absolutely love my black dustys! They are literally the most comfy heels I’ve ever owned and were worth the money. I can wear them all day and through to evening without my feet hurting. I want them in all of the colours now!
Emma Paisey –
My second pair of Dusty’s and they are one of my favourite pairs of shoes. Stylish and ultra mod. The heels have a fun pattern which set them off from the rest. If you’re looking for something different grab a pair of Dusty’s.
Rachel Steel –
I bought these in the size down as recommended, I too have very wide feet and my only criticism would be that the strap is shorter than I would like – but I persevered as I just love my shoes! 😍😍
Nigel Owen –
The latest addition to my wife’s collection of Dusty’s. She loves how they look and how they feel – I wonder which colour will be next!
Modshoes not only provide quality shoes, their standard of customer service is excellent – nothing is a problem, clear communication and the ‘personal touch’.

Susan Pople –
Love these – fancied them for a while but don’t normally wear that high a heel. Hubby treated me for my birthday and whilst still breaking them in they are great – so smart and went for the smaller size as suggested – right move!
Looking forward to more Modshoes in the future!
Tracy –

Paula –
Ordered in a size down as instructed & they fit perfectly. Although quite a high heel they are very comfortable. When I wear these I always get compliments on my shoes
Jayne –
Love these shoes, they’re high but very comfortable. Everyone comments on them. I’d been thinking about buying them for a while I’m so glad I did. Definitely go for the size smaller.
Lorraine –
Love my Dustys will buy more shoes from mod shoes fabulous
Vicky Pugh –
I didn’t think I’d find another pair of shoes that I love as much as my miss mollys…but I was wrong! Gorgeous shoes, look great on and comfortable too!
Helen –
Ordered these beautiful shoes, a size smaller as recommended. Perfect fit and so comfortable that I wore them out the same night I got them. Walked across town with no discomfort and I don’t wear heels often.
The quality is fantastic, well made and no blemishes on the patent leather.
I now have my eye on other designs on this site.
Fiona Friel –
Love these shoes , I didn’t go down the smaller size but I just use a wee heel grip & all good .
I might go smaller size on my next pair
Michelle Bailey –
Waited 3 months for these in my size – boy was it worth the wait! They are gorgeous and so comfortable…haven’t taken them off my feet since they were delivered!
Claire G –
My second pair of Dustys as I loved the first pair so much. So stylish – I get lots of admiring comments and also so comfy – I cycle wearing mine every day. I bought these as seconds and was slightly worried as there was no returns. I needn’t have been concerned, they are excellent. I now need to find a reason for my next pair! (Do you think the royal wedding justifies both blue and red?)
Nikkie Marks –
Love the black Dusty’s these were my second pair. I can wear them all day at work, go out for the evening, dance. This style makes me smile when I put them on and makes me feel good. I love the heel, really adds a different dimension.
My only thought, is what colour do I get next.

I got the black patent Dusty’s for my Christmas. I love them they are so comfortable. The checkered heel just sets them off. I have received lots of compliments about them. I am a UK6 and found 39 to be a perfect fit.

Love these shoes. I live in flats and wondered how I’d cope in heels but they are surprisingly comfortable and easy to walk in, even for me! I was unsure of what size to order as I’m a 5 or a 6 depending on the make. I read the reviews, went with a 5 which fit perfectly. I only wish I had the money to buy them in every colour!
Eric Homer –
I bought these for my wife for Christmas…….absolutely loves them.
Great quality Great service.👍😎
Wendy –
Saved hard to buy these shoes for a special party and felt fantastic in them. It felt like I went back in time to when I was a mod in the 80s. The shoes are smart, comfortable and go with almost anything I wear, Capri trousers, dresses and skirts. Service was exceptional right from informing us when back in stock to delivery.
I love the new colours, and Im saving for the lavender Dustys ❤️
Jane –
Can shoes be delicious ? I started with the black patent and now have a fine set of 6 different colours – always get great comments on my Modshoes.
Joanne Fitzpatrick –
I am a size 8 and quite a wide foot, but these shoes are so comfortable and I feel amazing wearing them. They get comments wherever I go. Also very well made. Highly recommend!
Deborah Hughes –
Comfortable, quirky, retro, beautifully made and will add a little bit of charisma to your look!! As for the company, they know their product, send out quickly and send replacements even more quickly. A breath of fresh air in today’s world.
nichola –

My second pair of Dusty’s, another present from my thoughtful husband. These were a bit of a tight fit when I first tried them on, but I wore them an hour or so for a few days around the house and they now fit perfectly.
Sara Dent –

Love these. I now have 3 different colours in them and would like every single colour!
They do come up big I am usually a size 4 but have a size 3 in these.
They look fab with or without tights.
Thanks Mod Shoes!

I bought these along with the navy/red Dustys as couldn’t decided which colour I liked best. I wore the others for a wedding and keeping these for an awards ceremony I’m attending next week as they are the perfect match for my dress. I love these as they as so funky and unusual and go with anything! I’m on a size 2 and struggle to get nice shoes so these are just perfect!!!

Simple black heels with a flash of retro on them <3 Love these and they go with everything!
Isabella Leese –
I bought two pairs of Dustys as couldn’t decide on the colour. I used one for a wedding but have kept the black ones for an awards ceremony I am attending. Cannot fault these shoes -stylish, comfy, perfect size! I am a size 2 and struggle to get decent shoes. Desperate for another pair as so many fab colours to choose from!
