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.

Gripfast Originals 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.
All import duties/taxes are included in the prices shown.

The Black Greasy 10 Eye Steel Toe Capped Derby Boot is praised for its excellent craftsmanship, top-notch leather, and fantastic look. Customers appreciate the fast shipping and the quality of the product. However, opinions on the fit and break-in period vary, with some recommending going down half a size.

"I usually get the solovair derby boots so these gripfast were a bit of a change, The leather quality and build is top on these, im on the break in stage at the moment but no issues or negative comments from me, the fit is perfect for my foot and the steel toe im a big fan of, I thought the 10 eye would be too tall compared to the 8 i usually get but it adds to the comfort stability and fit, I will purchase another colour in time, 10/10"
"I might took the boots a little bit too big i went for a 9,5 when a 9 would have been perfect but they are still pretty confortable to me. I still have to brake in these boots but they seem to be exactlly what I wanted i hope i made the right choise between hi-shine and grease. I hi-shine are beautifull for now i hope i will be able to preserve them"
"Sehr guter Schuh gute Qualität vielen Dank"
"Started with the break in, but is already Feeling great. Good leather quality and colour."
"more than i expected..amazing..wonderfull..confortable..meticulous details..i love them"
"These are my favorite work boots. I am able to wear them 5 days a week for 2 years straight. This is my 5th or 6th pair of Gripfast's. I only get new ones cause the soles wear down (and I don't feel like getting the soles replaced), the uppers are still in great condition."
"This is my first pair of Solovair boots, moved over from Dr. Martens. As promised by many folks online within punk circles as well as in other places these feel much higher quality than typical Martens. The wear-in is going to be a bit harsher I think, but I'm very pleased with initial quality (also I initially ordered the wrong size by a fluke and the exchange process was painless)."
"A beautiful boot! I initially ordered a 7. 5 which was too large, but was easily able to swap it out for a 7 which fits well. I imagine the fit would be even better for someone with wide feet. Some tiny ring-shaped pieces (leather? plastic?) fell out of the eyelets when I was lacing the boots but there has otherwise been no issue."
"Very good boots. Cool 😎 boots. I like them. I'll be getting more boots in the future."
"Excellent boots. Easiest boot to break in that I’ve ever owned!! Pretty comfy as well."
Greasy leather needs to be fed with Dubbin wax, oil or grease for nourishment. Apply sparingly to avoid creating a dull appearance.
