*Mod Shoes - LaBelles Loafers Review*

On Easter Sunday I attended Crossfire at Venue 229 in London, which is always a great night out! I always feel like I have to look the part when I am there and spend weeks planning my outfit before the actual event. As part of my very well thought through outfit I decided to wear loafers, I do love a good pair of loafers, that's the 60's Mod in me coming out. 





Above are the LaBelle loafers from Mod Shoes, I regularly mention this brand on here as I just love their products - I think any shoe lovers would! 

What I noticed when I first tried the shoes on as they fit perfectly, now I sometimes have a problem when it comes to the size of slip on shoes. I've bought pairs from other shops before in a size 6 and they have been miles too big, then I've had to buy a size smaller which meant they were a bit too tight. I didn't have that problem with this pair of loafers. It was a Cinderella moment, the perfect fit.



Another problem I sometimes have with slip on shoes is that the back can sometimes be a bit too hard. As the LaBelle's are leather there was no problem with them being too hard, I didn't even need to break them in before Crossfire. This is fantastic as I am someone who is so use to doing this and always worried about wearing new shoes out to events but I was dancing in these shoes for about 4 hours. 

I was wondering what the shoes would be like to dance in, as I don't like my shoes to have too much grip on them for dancing. Mod Shoes LaBelle Loafers were perfect for dancing in as they have leather sole's and gripped heels, which I find is the best combination for Northern Soul dancing. 



These style of loafers are available in two colours, Oxblood (the colour of mine) or Chestnut, which is a lovely shade of brown and are priced at £85. I would highly recommend Mod Shoes to anyone as well as selling loafers they also sell brogues, boots and retro style trainers.
