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.

The Burgundy Rub-Off Gibson Shoe from Solovair's Classic Collection boasts exceptional craftsmanship, with Goodyear Welted Construction and a unique rub-off color effect. Customers praise the shoes' fantastic color, great style, and top-notch quality. The leather is soft and of high quality, and while the fit is generally comfortable, sizing may vary.

"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!"
"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."
"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!"
"They shoes are absolutely beautiful,quite stiff in the beginning but not too bad. I am still in a slow process of breaking them but they are fantastic for walking and I am a very happy convert from the one we don't want to mention. Very true to size."
"Gorgeous shoes with wonderful touches. As these are hand made, there are some little differences between both shoes, but all in all greatly made. As for the comfort level, they are a lot more comfortable then other similar shoes of this built style, but need a little time to soften up. But even though mine are not worn in properly, they are one of the comfiest shoes I have."
"Ordered a size 10. 5 but was too big. Quality of product was excellent. Return for a resize and Viv got it sorted. Excellent service. Will buy again!"
"For me, this is the perfect shoe! Sturdy, a perfect fit, really cool and makes a statement! My last pair lasted 10 years – I’m really looking forward to breaking in a new pair now."
"Shoes are great, loved the style. Really spices up any fit. Love the Greasy finish with the hi-shine brogue. Great purchase."
"Exactly what I wanted and delivered within days. Now I have to break them in, which is rather painful to be honest. Yet worth it!"
"These are the most well made shoes I've had in a long time. They punch way above there price. They are very comfortable and they are a compliment magnet. I'm very pleased with my purchase and I'm looking forward to my next pair"
For general maintenance, apply Solovair Renovating Cream or a good quality shoe polish using a dry cloth or soft brush for buffing.
