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.
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 Black Greasy 7 Eye Monkey Boot from Solovair's Classic Collection is praised for its top-quality leather, deep Oxblood color, and excellent craftsmanship. Customers appreciate the great look, perfect fit, and outstanding service. However, opinions on sizing vary, with some finding it slightly tight.

"These boots are of the utmost quality. I could feel the craftsmanship as soon as I put them on and laced them up. They may take some time to break in, but when they do I can tell that they will be perfectly one with my feet. I am looking forward to a lifetime of style, sophistication, and comfort with these boots."
"I like these Monkey Boots very much. They feel and wear much more shoe-like that a boot. I added a very thin insert with a little arch support. That's made them as close to perfect as anything I've worn."
"I haven't had a pair of monkey boots since I was a kid. I was stoked to see these oxblood monkey boots and thanks to the great build and sizing information, I bought a pair. I decided on size 9. 5 as I have wide feet (usually I'm a 9). These were my first (along with a pair of 11 hole gaucho boots) purchase from Solovair. Boots arrived in NZ within a couple of weeks of purchase and I was thrilled with the look, colour and quality. As they are high shine, they need a little breaking in to soften up but are by no means painful and I was wearing them out within a couple of days. Highly recommend and already planning some more purchases from here."
"These boots are very well made. The leather feels high quality, the stitching is neat and precise, and the overall shape is elegant and well proportioned. The sizing is accurate and they fit comfortably. Please note that they arrive in a uniform brown colour. The distinctive rub-off effect only starts to appear after you begin cleaning, polishing and buffing the leather. This gradually brings out the darker and lighter tones and gives the boots more character. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality and appearance."
"Break in is going well! Love the color and the fit- the last one these fits my 9. 5 wide us shoe size with room to spare for winter socks!"
"True to size, manipulating the tongue to soften the edges helped a lot with comfort. The inserts are great and I’m glad to have such a perfect fit."
"Fabulous shoes! Get compliments every time I wear them. Already eyeing other colours…."
"It’s been decades since I last wore a pair of these. These Monkeys are genuinely rugged and well made. I’m still breaking in the leather upper, but the sole is comfortable, bouncy, and surprisingly lightweight. Great boots—I’m very happy with them."
"This is my second pair of solovair boots. I usually wear a womens 9 and purchased the equivalent of that size, and they run slightly big if the laces aren’t pulled super tight, but actually it’s perfect because I was planning on putting insoles in these boots, so it’s not noticeable. Comfy to walk in too."
"Shoes are slightly tight on the sides of my feet. I have very wide feet."
Greasy leather needs to be fed with Dubbin wax, oil or grease for nourishment. Apply sparingly to avoid creating a dull appearance.
