   Brilliant visit to Basil Powell Shoes last week, it's what I'd call a proper traditional shoe shop with people that really know their stuff. We went in looking to buy some water proof walking shoes and the gentleman in the store was able to talk us through the options and ultimately found something we hadn't spotted that worked really well. Definitely recommended if you need expert advice and great service.

   This is a wonderful, bespoke shoe shop in Wells. The range of styles in shoes, boots, sandals etc are not generally found on the high street which makes it a great place to shop for something different. The owner and his team are extremely helpful if you need advice, making this the 'go to' shop for me in both formal and casual footwear. If it's good quality, stylish shoes with longevity that you're after, then this is the place for you!

   Excellent shop with good customer service. I bought a pair of mens walking shoes and the owner was very helpful without being pushy sales wise. Would recommend visiting to anyone and I shall return one day .

   Lovely shop, great looking shoes. I originally called in as I saw a bag in the window. When I asked about it, she wasn't very forth coming. Didn't offer to show it me. Then I saw all the beautiful shoes, as names I like due to quality( oruginally thought it was all Eco).Would have been happy to spend some serious money, but a member of staff, tall, demeaner very snooty, not at all helpful. ( caught her looking me up and down and looking at my footwear).Even when I said I have difficulty getting shoes on due to an ankle problem, did not offer any assistance. So I just left . There were no other customers, then one other, but she wasn't busy. Appeared that another member of staff( must have been sorting stock) brought stock in, she was laying bags out and seemed very pleasant but by that time, the humiliation of attempting to get a shoe on drove me out of the shop. Prob would have bought 2 bags and 2/ 3 pairs of shoes/ boots £300 easily. I'll go where staff are friendly.

   Popped in to purchase a pair of Ecco walking shoes. Bloke (cannot call him gentleman) finally approached me. I asked for a size 35. They did not stock. I asked for a size 36 in anything similar. Advised abruptly they only stock size 4 and above and could not help. Woman (again could not call lady) told me to go out of the door in a particular direction. I regularly pay £200 for shoes in order to obtain small sizes. The two of them obviously thought in their own privileged world that I could not afford their shoes. Be warned you obviously have to fit an image to spend money at Basil Powell shoes.
