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.

The Oxblood Hi-Shine Gibson Shoe from Solovair's Classic Collection is praised for its exceptional quality, great style, and beautiful look. Customers appreciate the fast shipping and exceptional service. The shoes are made with high-quality leather and have a perfect fit, though some recommend going down a size. The color and feel of the shoes are also highly commended.

"Unfortunately these shoes were far too narrow for me despite me ordering a half size up from my usual. Thought I just needed to break them in but after 10 days of wear they were hurting the soles of my feet so badly I could not bear to put them on. Felt like a raised edge on each side of the footbed digging in to my soles. Nice shoes, just not for my feet."
"I bought them one month ago. The first week the didn’t fit so well but now they are perfect. I feel much more comfortable than my sport shoes. I wanna thank my friend Marco Who knows your brand from many years and his experience was the most important motivation to buy."
"My first impression is that it feels and looks premium. It is well constructed, though not entirely perfect. I have only worn it once, and it was not as comfortable as I expected, but I do believe it will get better over time. I was surprised that it didn’t hurt at the heel, but more around the toes—especially the pinky toe. Overall, I like it!"
"I am delighted with these shoes. I am a big fan of Solovair footwear and have owned several pairs of their classic Gibson shoes. I think the collab with Wasted has resulted in a clever and subtle variant, with the now you see it, now you don’t, tone on tone Union Jack design."
"Quality and looks are great. They're very tough to break in. I got a blister after wearing them for the first time. I do have to mention this the first pair of leather shoes that I've owned so I'm not really used to breaking these types of shoes in etc. Overall I think the shoes are great and I would recommend them."
"The quality is incredible, but they're rather uncomfortable. I bought an 8uk per advice, and I think it's actually the right size, but it seems that there's some heel slip. And if I add the solovair insoles, my heel sits very much on top and heel slip is worse. I can use them with thick socks and it fits perfect and snug, but the issue of having no insoles and just the heel pad makes it so it hurts at the ball of my feet after hours of standing or walking. I'm trying different variations like thin socks + thin insoles to see if that works. I also had to add a pad at the bottom of the tongue because the leather is so stiff that it digs through the top of my feet. I think that'll pass after some time but they were unwearable without the pad."
"The color shown on the website does not exactly match the actual color of the shoe."
"I love these shoes so much! At first I got half a size too large, but it was so easy to exchange to a size that fit perfectly. Thank y'all so much!"
"Great, durable shoe. Initially got size 9 but it was too small but they exchanged it without any trouble."
"Great shoe, always recommend this brand to friends"
For general maintenance, apply Solovair Renovating Cream or a good quality shoe polish using a dry cloth or soft brush for buffing.
