Re-living my youth

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.

"Love the boots - brings me back, I will not say how many years, to when this was the only footwear I wore. Quality really shows through. Really pleased with the purchase"
"100% satisfied with not only the boots but that super fast delivery to Australia. The quality is amazing, the leather substantial but very soft and breaking them in was very easy and pain free. The artisans at Solovair certainly know how to make a boot. This is my third pair of boots from them and their quality never changes. Do yourself a favour and buy some today, you wont be sorry."
"Hello NPS I ordered the boots for my wife, used your fitting guide and added 5 mm to her actual foot measurement and they fit mint. They look super smart and she says are already comfortable. I’m amazed again how quickly they arrived at the door, less than a week to Canada. A proper boot by a proper company with a long lineage. Her boots will replace a pair of 1970s combat boots and I’m sure these will be around as long. Thanks solovair"
"I grabbed these boots as soon as they were back in stock… The best boots ever I also have black Hi-shine derby, I will have these boots for a very long time!"
"Excellent fit and high quality leather"
"This is the first pair of Solovair shoes I have purchased and I could not be happier. The quality is excellent and they are exactly as described. The purchase process was simple and I received them extremely quickly. I have recommended Solovair to a number of people already and will continue to do so as well as buy more pairs for myself."
"Excellent quality, size is great and delevery super fast"
"First time I have purchased Greasy finish as my five previous purchases have all been high gloss and I felt like a change. As with all my previous purchases the fit is just right and takes about three days of wearing to break in. These boots are not being used daily at the moment as I have not worn out the previous pairs but I don’t expect them to be any different in performance from the excellent Solovair products that I wear daily. I love that they are made in the UK which is one of the main reasons for buying in place of other brands."
"My initial thoughts on these boots are the quality seems to be good, the, the leather is a bit on the stiff side but that's expected as they are new, I have only worn them around the house for a couple of hours and went out for the day without any issues other than those expected with new boots, will have to see what happens long term but initial feeling is positive"
"The boot feels lighter than I thought it would be, and the quality is great. I didn't even have to break it in at all - I love it."
For general maintenance, apply Solovair Renovating Cream or a good quality shoe polish using a dry cloth or soft brush for buffing.
