A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Shoes with a Totnes story
Handmade leather footwear with colour, character and a long local history, sold from a High Street shop with its own Totnes workshop behind the craft.
Conker has been making shoes in Totnes since 1977, and its workshop still produces the brand’s footwear by hand. A visit is a chance to look beyond the finished pair: leather colours, stitching and sole choices all play a part in made-to-order shoes. There is ready-to-wear footwear too, alongside clothing and accessories, with a repair service designed to keep well-loved Conkers going.

SOMETHING TO LOOK OUT FOR
