"Left boot zip doesnt pull smoothly but I think I can fix it, not that I like that i have to given the price. Fit is overwise great, and construction seems sound, I’m just concerned this zip is going to give up the go well before it should."

This is our standard fit with a generous round and deeper toe. It generally fits true to size, but if you prefer less room in the toe box area, go down ½ size or fit according to the length of your foot, adding 5 mm to your measurement for comfort
For guidelines on how to measure your foot length, click here.

Our Goodyear welted footwear is a little larger than most other brands. We would therefore recommend you either purchase a pair of our cushioned socks with our footwear in your regular size, as they offer about 1/2 a size extra fitting, or you go 1/2 a size smaller than you typically wear.

Applying a suede protectant before wearing your footwear for the first time will help guard the surface. A suede brush can be used to remove dust and restore the nap after each use. Suede and Nubuck finishes should be kept away from large amounts of water due to its porous quality.

Reviews
very good, no need for
"very good, no need for break in period it dosent hurt even fiting too large, when going up the stairs the boot goes down making space between the sole and the feet, something fixable with 2-3cm insoles by the buyer end, the manufacturing of the shoe is perfect."
Good boots, fast delivery

Really Well Made
"These are one of the best quality boots out there. Especially for the price. Boots out there costing 3x these are not, in many cases, even "as good" as these."

Just GOATed
"Let me tell y'all something. When I bought these boots I just wanted something nice to wear with one particular outfit I thought up. Fast forward about a year later and these are getting used multiple times per week. I love em, they seemingly go with almost everything. They're versatile, comfortable, and look every bit as good now as they did when I bought em. This is my favorite pair of casual/work footwear that I have ever owned."
Super comfy, been wearing for
"Super comfy, been wearing for a week straight and haven’t had any breaking-in pain! The greasy finish is more matte than I had expected but they feel incredibly well built and everything is great quality. Love the option of a resoling service too, overall would absolutely recommend!"

Order 1/2 size down!
"Awesome boots, nice soft leather, great exchange/return policy. I will say, they run a bit large. I typically wear a US 8 but according to the Solovair size chart and instructions I should be a size 8. 5, so that’s what I ordered. They ended up being way too big so I exchanged them for a 7. 5 which fits perfectly with room for thick socks. Definitely order a half size below your typical shoe size!"
Q&A
Greasy leather needs to be fed with Dubbin wax, oil or grease for nourishment. Apply sparingly to avoid creating a dull appearance.
