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.

"Absolutely beautiful! Very comfortable to wear. The leather is very soft and not hard like some boots that take time to break in. I'm definitely going to build a collection after this."
"I've wanted these boots since I was 8 years old and now at 33 I finally have them. Worth every penny! Ordered a half size up to put an insole in. These have been pretty much my daily boots since they arrived. I live in NYC so i walk a lot, even rode around on my bike with them and, man they were perfect. Love the oxblood color and looking forward to the patina in the coming years."
"I’ve only had these boots for a few weeks so still breaking in to them. So far the feel is great and the cut and design of the boots really suit anything from shorts to chinos to jeans to carpenter pants. I do have to warn anyone getting them that probably doing so with some plimsoles is the best option as these are proper shoes and as such will require some proper breaking in, not so much the back heel or the upper leather (which is ridiculously lovely and soft) but the sole."
"I've been extremely happy with my purchase of these monkey boots. They look great and have been very comfortable to wear from the beginning, which surprised me. The fit is perfect."
"Great looking boots. Though I had to take 1. 5 sizes smaller instead of one. But the shipping was extremely quick and the exchange process flawless."
"These monkey boots are awesome, I am a uk 9 (43) and their uk 9 (43) are a perfect fit, they will take some breaking in though, so wear around the house for a few weeks, polish often and all will be good."
"Had lots of positive comments about these. OK they're 3x the price of Grafters monkey boots but so much better made. Northern Soul dancing rips the soles off lesser shoes, having killed 3 pairs i knew I had to get these and I love them. Real solid build and chunky monkey look. Polished to a high gloss with Saphir Pâté de luxe. Still breaking them in but I've walked 5 miles at a time and danced all night. Feel big if you get your normal size but I dare not go down half a size, I just wear boot socks."
"Absolutely class pair of boots! As advised I went down half a size and no issues whatsoever. Comfortable straight out the box, still breaking them in (touch wood no blisters have occurred so far) I haven't had to get plasters or anything, just the usual two pairs of socks and slowly wearing them for longer periods of time. They look absolutely stellar and feel it too."
"Shoe is very well made. Surprisingly comfortable and fits larger than your usual US size. Just do the measurements to get one thats accurate. If you have wide feet, you’ll love these."
"Love my new boots❤️ perfect height on the ankle and the style is reminiscent of high top sneakers. The leather is thick, but supportive and will soften with time/wear. I have a wide women’s foot and I find these snug, but not overly so. The profile is sleek and the perfect length"
For general maintenance, apply Solovair Renovating Cream or a good quality shoe polish using a dry cloth or soft brush for buffing.
