LAST 409
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.

Solovair Classic Collection
Due to the nature of Greasy leather a layer of Dubbin may be required to achieve the pictured look.
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.

"These boots feel great so far, even during the break-in process. With each wear, they’re slowly becoming my own, developing more character one step at a time. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and am already looking forward to picking up another color!"
"Amazing quality, I wouldn't look at any other brand other than Solovair. I was able to put them on and walk comfortably right away with a pair of Marino wool hiking socks. These boots are in a league of their own. Top quality leather and British manufacturing. Other boots are available but you would be wasting your money with them. Fantastic customer too and delivered straight to my door within days. Well done everyone in Solovair"
"Measured my feet as recommended (280mm) which led me to 9,5UK but my toes touch the front of the toe box very lightly nevertheless. If I had to choose again I would get the boots a bit larger. But otherwise I love those boots; great quality and better looks and finish than the famous competitor (which have always been to narrow for me toeboxwise)!"
"Right from the start these boots felt just right. Of course I like the looks and since I'm about to wear them about 8h a day, the feeling is important. And I love it! The leather feels good and the boots are comfortable. I'm very happy and satisfied!"
"This is a slightly unusual review. I have long term post surgical problems which means finding footwear is a nightmare. Firstly, the company were absolutely helpful when I explained the situation. Secondly, their advice was spot on, thirdly, it will take a while to get the boots to give, but they will, and they will be comfortable, and they will last for years. I am more than happy."
"I'm very impressed with these boots. While the finish of the sole is a little rough, the rest of the boot feels very sturdy and durable. After 1 week of wear, these boots already seem to shape around my feet and feel very comfortable. They do run quite large, but if you get the right size, you will have incredibly comfortable and long lasting shoes."
"Overall ok, just had a thread getting loose on the upper, cut it and burnt the end with a lighter. Comfort is ok, but would like if there was alined option."
"I ordered true to size and they fit nicely, with room for my big handknit socks. I wouldn't size down any further though because my feet are wide. The boots are a sturdy, thick leather that will have to be broken in, but that's how good shoes should be! I like that the soles have a bit more shape to them than similar boots from other brands. They feel more natural to walk in."
"These boots are just great — there's nothing else to say. I had a little trouble finding the right size because I need insoles. But thanks to the great support, the second pair fit perfectly. I love them."
"These are beautiful boots and they are clearly well-made. They are comfortable out of the box and I feel like with a little wear, will get better. I have a wide foot and these are amazing for wide feet. I feel like if my feet were not wide, I would want to size down a half size."
Greasy leather needs to be fed with Dubbin wax, oil or grease for nourishment. Apply sparingly to avoid creating a dull appearance.
