We have upgraded these great boots, with a thicker leather sole. It is twice the thickness, which can be seen in the pics.
As you may know these boots are very popular, and for good reason, they are great to wear, look ace, smart or casual and little wearing in.
These gorgeous boots are very evocative of the Boots worn in TV Program Peaky Blinders, and hence the name The Shelby.
The design has exclusively been made for us, and you wont find these anywhere else. Unlike a lot of brogue boots, these have been made to look “Retro Smart”. Notice the front is a Squarer and , more retro shape.
The oxblood is very subtle, and the leather type means it doesnt need lots of polishing.
They come with a Leather sole, and the leather upper is soft enough to wear straight away.
Sizing & Wearing In
Comparable boots to these can sometimes take weeks to soften up. I wore my sample ones at one night whilst Djing, and was very comfortable more or less straight away. Yes you do that stiff, boots on for the first time, but the leather soon accommodates. I have worn mine loads of times already and very pleased with them.
STICK WITH SIZE, dont go down or up. Width wise they are normal +.
In terms of their looks these will work with a multitude of outfits, inc Jeans, Coloured jeans, Trousers & obviously a suit. We could suggest many colour combination, but a fave would be Prince of Wales, Tweed or Chequered Trousers for that Peaky Blinders look.

Boots look great and are very well made
I probably should have gone down a size as I have a narrow foot

I’m usually an 8, and reasonably wide. But these were way too big and I had to go down to a 7. Which are bang on.
Decent quality leather that takes a shine. And a nice shape. Great laces – not to be under appreciated!
One stand out: GREAT customer services. Sensible advice about method and cost to return, followed up with same day despatch of the smaller size that I requested.
For this alone, I will be using Mod Shoes again!

Exactly what I wanted: stylish and a strong well-made boot. I also received a call from the main office who were proactively ensuring my delivery arrived on the right day. Great service

Wow ! Received these bad boys today! And even before my PayPal account has paid !! Fantastic and super comfortable! I generally have problems with the fit , but these are perfect! Might even but the same again in Oxblood 😊

Absolutely superb boot. Like other reviews I would strongly recommend going down a size in this style. The return process was easy and the new ones a size smaller were delivered prompt as promised. This is my 4th purchase from Mod Shoes, normally loafers, and although quite pricey, they are worth every penny. I will not buy shoes anywhere else now. Thank you Mod Shoes!
