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
Rub-Off is a two tone colour with a darker top coat. As this effect is produced by hand the colour may differ slightly to the pictures shown. With general wear, the rub off will become more pronounced, but you can use our Solovair natural renovating cream to maintain the appearance.
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.
FREE shipping on all footwear orders, with a 30 day return and exchange policy.
In the unfortunate event that you need to return your order, head over to our Returns Center. Simply enter your order number, email address and select the items that you wish to return. You will then have the option of a refund or exchange to another size or style.
All import duties/taxes are included in the prices shown.

"It is my new favorite shoe. I wish they had more formal oxfords as well, similar to what allen edmonds park or 5th avenue shoe, but these are my new favorite casual shoes. Exceptional quality. The leather insert i bought seperately is a perfect addition to this."
"Shoe looks good and feels of good quality, though i wouldnt know because i couldnt wear them because i trusted the sizing chart and bought the size too small. And now im scared the new shoes will not make it, in time for my friends wedding."
"Had to half-size down (heed this advice!!) and the exchange was painless. The shoe itself is excellent, not as brutal to wear in as I was expecting, looks great. I'm from Northampton originally (now in Glasgow) so it feels good to have a wee connection to Northamptonshire and what it's known for!"
"Five star quality, however there was no blue on the leather. Had to fill in the navy with acrylic"
"Pretty chuffed with my new shoes. Pure quality. They need some wearing for the leather to form to your foot. But believe me, you won't be sorry buying these."
"A very nice shoe, well built and classy. , my only complaint is the toe box is a bit tight. I bought these to use as dress shoes so they won’t see extended use other than formal wear so it is not a huge deal. This is I think generally something I’d like to see from Solovair as most of their products have I think a narrow toe box."
"Perfect! I love these shoes. They’re beautiful, well-made and so comfortable. (I added a 3/4 insert to add a little extra arch. )"
"I am realy pleased with my Gibson shoes, the greasy leather look is great. Broken in quite quickly. This is my third pair of Solovairs. I like the quality and comfort of both boots and shoes."
"Very comfortable, not too painful to break in. I’m normally a size 9 but took size 8. 5 for these shoes, which fit well. Great service and speedy delivery. Will return for some boots in the not too distant future!"
"I am very glad that I purchased a half size. Retailers in Seoul only sell full sizes, and I do not want to compromise on the size. They are well-made and beautiful."
For general maintenance, apply Solovair Renovating Cream or a good quality shoe polish using a dry cloth or soft brush for buffing.
