Checkout Village Voice Brisbane's article about our little shop and it's history via their website (page 40) in their June 2025 New Farm peninsula issue out now!

Behind a simple shopfront in Wickham Street lies downes shoes, Fortitude Valleyโ€™s oldest surviving commercial business.๐Ÿ‘ข

First established by Norman Downes, a new era began in 1985 when Barry Toombs bought the Downesโ€™ Valley store.

Barry had left school at 14, completed a five-year boot repair apprenticeship and built up a successful business, but he knew that cheap synthetic imports and a growing throwaway culture threatened his professionโ€™s viability.

Barry decided to diversify and hit upon the idea of importing and selling Dr Martens shoes and boots.

The famous UK brand was a hit with students, artists and hospitality workers and Barry stocked the largest range in Brisbane.
