Barker Shoes 215 Regent Street, London W1B 4NG

"Bought my wedding shoes from here. H was absolutely first class. Very knowledgeable about the different types of shoes, offered suggestions and help in selecting the right shoe. I'm sure they'll do the job, the quality in the materials is really noticeable. Not cheap, but happy with the quality. Will be back."

"I wandered into this shop with the intention of buying some shoelaces. I asked for 3 different colours, and was going to pay, when the generous chap behind the counter said I could have them on the house. It was done with charm. I will remember this shop when contemplating which brogues I want. In addition their range is rather good."

"I had a problem with the shoes I brought from another branch of Barker. Vic was absolutely brilliant. He took on the issue as though it was his. He tried everything to make the shoe better and gave me lots of advice. He also gave me some shoe cream so that I can soften the leather."

"Pricey but very smart leather shoes. Much more choice than the large department stores."

"I bought a pair of Barker shoes, the ones on their creative style. Unless you know what you want, don't expect much help, they will just show you around the different models and let you know which colours could match better for your suit, but that's it. Better to know about the brand and do some research yourself. Apart from that, shoes are great quality, great finish and light. I'll be back to exchange them but for a new pair since the ones i bought, the right food was in exposition and it's bit used at the sole."
