"Always loved my boots from Solovair. Best quality leather boots."
''Southerner'' 11 Eye Steel Toe Derby Boot
This is our widest fitting last with a broad, round and deep toe. If you have a wider foot or prefer a more roomy fit then it’s true to size. For narrower feet, go down ½ size or fit according to the length of your foot, adding 5mm to your measurement for comfort.

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.

I came from Norway to
"I came from Norway to Wollaston to pick up my boots and the woman was extremely nice and helpful. Great customer service during the buying process as I encountered difficulties. Thank you!"
"These boots are the mutts nuts! Straight out of the box comfortable and have taken no breaking in whatsoever. They look amazing, feel even better on foot. I've purchased solovair leather insoles which take these to the next level. Absolutely worth the price tag. I've got another 3 pairs of Solovair boots, but these are my absolute favourite pair. Thank you Solovair!"

Solovair 'Southerner' Boots
"I have had these boots for a couple of years and they are amazing! Very comfortable, they look fantastic and can be worn straight from the box when new, for extended periods. The workmanship and finsih are second to none. Fit is true to size but on the generous side. I have been a customer for many years any my only request is that Solovair brings back the gold lettering, with 'Southerner' and 'Highlander' etc according to the model, on the exterior ankle of each boot."
