carefully selected by the White & Son team for<br />

During 2015 after four years of evolution rather<br />

than revolution White & Son Shoes were out<br />

growing the shop in its present form. Owners<br />

Gail and Steve White decided that “The only way is<br />

up”. Thanks to the support of their landlord more<br />

space became available in the recently vacated<br />

premises upstairs. This would enable more stock<br />

and choice of footwear to be held and larger and<br />

brighter displays in the shop.<br />

Sadly, as the transformation started taking place<br />

Steve’s wife Gail passed away having suffered a<br />

spontaneous brain haemorrhage. Whilst Steve<br />

was devastated his loyal staff rallied round led<br />

by manageress Anne.<br />

The huge undertaking of transforming the shop<br />

was driven by the skill and commitment shown<br />

by Stuart White of S & D White Carpenters of<br />

Sidmouth who despite the difficulties following<br />

Gail’s death performed far and beyond what<br />

was expected of him. Stuart White is a “Can Do”<br />

tradesman and White & Son Shoes cannot thank<br />

him or recommend him enough.<br />

Today the shop in Fore Street Sidmouth is probably<br />

the destination for the widest selection of<br />

quality footwear in Devon. The range and selection<br />

of shoes and sandals for men and women,<br />

as customers frequently tell us, “Outstanding,<br />

if only we had a shoe shop like this in our area”<br />

Owner Steve White sums it up perfectly:<br />

“We are a shoe shop - Not a shop that sells shoes”<br />

Please see the White & Son advert directly below,<br />

they're situated just back from the Esplanade, on<br />

the street ending at the Royal York and Faulkner<br />

Hotel.<br />

Steve welcomes your enquiries by phone if you're<br />

travelling from afar. Sidmouth's a great place to<br />

pay a visit, with beautiful coastal views from the<br />

Esplanade and has many great places where you<br />

can enjoy lunch, an excellent museum and is a<br />

charming place to spend the day.<br />
