I recently bought a pair of boots from 'Conker Shoes' after having seen and admired them on a devotee. The boots I bought in April are beautiful; the quality remarkable. I plan another purchase soon and a visit! Thank You Katie for your guidance.

I first bought shoes from Conkers about 30 years ago when their shop was at the top of the hill, brilliant selection of colours and styles and very nice friendly staff - I've bought 6 pairs from them over the years - totally recommend.

Bought my first pair of conker boots last summer, have just bought another two pairs as they are the most comfortable footwear I have ever worn. Very helpful staff both in the shop and on line. Just like wearing slippers!

I bought my first pair of conker shoes nearly 10 years ago, the Cowboy Boots which are still going and I absolutely adore!
The staff were so helpful and friendly, helping me pick out leathers and customise my shoes which was so much fun! When they needed resoleing a couple of years ago they were just as helpful.
I have literally worn these boots nearly everyday for the last 10 years and they are so comfy and even though they're well worn they still look beautiful!
I also have a pair of conker deck shoes which were a present and because they kept my size on file they were a complete surprise which was lovely! They actually remembered me from my boots and so were able to give advice on what I would like best! Amazing seeing as it was a few years after my initial purchase! As ever they are gorgeously comfy and perfectly practical both on land and sea!
I cannot recommend this company enough and I'm saving to buy some more beautiful shoes soon!

Bought two pairs of Conker cowboy boots about 24 years ago from this superb shop in Totnes, for myself and my girlfriend, who wears them most days in the winter. Believe it or not, but these boots are still in perfect condition in 2016. You will not buy any more hardwearing than these. They look great, too ! Highly recommended.

Good, slightly folksy hand made shoes and accessories set in what was an early theatre (see the masks on the facade). It has become a Totnes institution.

I first bought shoes here 13 years ago which I still wear, one pair resoled. I don't know how they make a profit as their shoes go on for ever and remain timeless. luckily, my feet have deformed sufficiently to justify buying a pair of their Derby boots which I have long wanted. It would have been better to visit but rather far for me. They still had my measurements, discussed my problem over the telephone and, using one of my old pairs, posted back and forth, added sufficient additional space around the problem area to make them very comfortable. nothing was too much trouble and they were made in the weeks before Christmas and arrived on Christmas Eve.
They are beautiful and much admired. I love the colour and they will improve with age. I don't know anywhere else like this shop.
