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 (Verified Purchase) –
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

Love these! Good quality, comfortable, and worth every penny. I bought one size down as recommended.
Rachael Butler (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
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’.
Tracy (Verified Purchase) –
Dusty Pantent in black I purchased my a size down as recommended and they fit lovely I would of liked a little longer strap but that just a personal preference as I have wide feet ?
Debbie Broughton (Verified Purchase) –

LOVE MY NEW SHOES
Susan Pople (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
Beautiful comfy shoes didn’t need any breaking in comfy from day one got loads of good comments when I wear them recommend getting a size smaller then your normal size delivery fast great fast reply from staff don’t hesitate highly recommend you will not be disappointed only problem now is want then in more colours
Paula (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
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.
karen_wilson_1 (Verified Purchase) –
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.
sharonhackett312 (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
I bought these for my wife for Christmas…….absolutely loves them.
Great quality Great service.??
Wendy (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
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 (Verified Purchase) –
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.

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.

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!!!

I love these shoes, I wasn’t sure I’d manage the heels, but they are so comfortable I hardly notice. Will definitely get another pair sometime soon…
Have just got to decide which colour!
Janine Sabbagh (Verified Purchase) –
Having bought the Dustys in red and white, I knew how comfortable they are, so had to get the black and white too when they returned in stock. For wider feet, these are perfect, and never fail to get positive comments.

Michaela Black (Verified Purchase) –
Love them, been looking for a while, very comfortable and perfect fit. Everyone comments on them.
Only drawback is deciding what colour to buy
Claireinda Fish (Verified Purchase) –
Was looking for a cheap retro looking shoe for the Goodwood Revival last year but once I spotted these I had to have them. I love them for looking a bit different but are so comfortable I wear them all the time.
Laura (Verified Purchase) –
Wow! I absolutely love these shoes!! I couldn’t decide which dusty to have so ordered 2, the black and white ones, and the blue and red ones. Plan was to return one but ended up keeping both pairs!! 😁 Can honestly say they are the best shoes I’ve brought, they are so well made and go with absolutely everything!! I’ve been wearing both pairs every day for over a year now, for work and also going out, and I feel so lovely in them. They’re so so comfy, I have walked and danced loads in them, such a gorgeous design 😍 would definitely recommend them. I am always getting complimented on them. I am a size 6 and they fit perfectly. Thanks Mod Shoes I love them!!
Rachel Mizon –
The dustys are so comfy! Love this pair as black goes with anything!
Lucy Ashton (Verified Purchase) –
Love love love these! I already have a pair in red and cream, and the black are a perfect addition. Speedy dispatch as usual, comfortable and easy to wear and I always get compliments when I wear them. Particularly fab with a pair of electric blue tights I have too!
Samantha Beardshall (Verified Purchase) –
This is my 3rd pair of mod shoes, they are very comfortable and I always go the size down as suggested ans have never had a problem. The look great and really set any outfit off. I have only worn these 3 times and have notice the inner lining of the right shoe has come unstuck, this has not happened with any of my others so must be a glitch in this pair, it doesn’t detract from the comfort, provided I put it straight before wearing, so a bit of a disapointment with this pair.
Marian (Verified Purchase) –
Style is lovely but shoes need comfort as well. The Dustys have both style and comfort. Great shoe to wear, no issues plenty of complements. Great company to deal with.
Jane –
I love dusty shoes I have the black and another colour they are so comfortable and true to size and always get noticed
Alister Sutherland (Verified Purchase) –
My wife utterly loves these shoes! She fell in love with them online and once she had mentioned them to me I had to get them for her. They are even more attractive in real life. Beautiful shoes, clearly lovingly made.
Louise Stephens (Verified Purchase) –
Thankyou Mod Shoes! Love my Dusty’s so much! The authentic 1960’s style and shape are EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for, and they are without a doubt the comfiest high heel I own. Well worth every penny and great customer service too! XX
Bettina Popien-Ruß –
This shoes fit perfect and they are wonderful!:-))
Wendy Webb (Verified Purchase) –
LOVE these shoes! I have had my eye on them for ages and finally took the plunge…. and oh boy… they are as lovely as hoped! I did what everyone suggested and sized down. I’m usually a 6 but ordered a 5 (38) and they fit beautifully. Only one problem … once you have ONE pair … you want more!!
Beth Arzy –
