While we were in Totnes, I went to do a little window-shopping. For handmade shoes.
We didn’t find Green Shoes (because it turns out that their workshop’s not actually in Totnes but just outside), but we did find Conker. I tried on a couple of different styles to find out what size I need in Conker shoes (6E), but I couldn’t afford to buy anything. But now I know what size I need I can safely order shoes from the internet, the next time I have enough money in my Shoe Fund.
I also learned that 6E and 6F are the same width but the F has more instep space, which is a very useful thing to know when you have a high instep and wear orthotics.
The round toes and the crepe soles made these little boots (I tried on a lovely nut-brown pair) incredibly light and comfortable. I’ve been coveting these shoes via the internet for years, but now I’ve actually had them on my feet I want a pair (okay, several pairs) more than ever!
