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

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.

"First time I've bought myself a nice pair of nice boots & it's definitely worth it for me. The quality is just so impressive & they look so good. The instep was a bit inflexible at first but easily resolved with me just wearing them for short walks at first until I broke them in. Now I have no problems with them."
"I will be honest, I was hesitant. First on the sizing as based on your sizing chart I would wear a UK 6. 5! And I wear a UK 8 in the other similar boot. (Because they dont do half sizes). Then I was hesitant about the quality. I took the leap and I am so pleased I did. The quality of the leather and workmanship is top notch. And the size chart was spot on. You have a convert. Thank you"
"Awesome boots. Good construction and materials, and fast shipping to Australia."
"Excellent boots! I normaly wear size 11uk in other brands, so I for order 11uk in my solovairs, fit ok, however if i put an insole they fit tight, so, if you may need to put an insole, si recomend ordering half or even a size up, other than that, i’m very happy with my boots!"
"Ordered these boots for my husband and he loves them. I had ordered the wrong size and had no problem returning them. Easy process and very quick turn around with the correct size. Great Company."
"I was eager to compare these Solovair's with the look-a-like boot that has the yellow stitching. I'm pleased to say. . . there is no comparison! These Solovair's are twice the boot of the competition. The leather is nearly twice the thickness and the overall quality is there on full display and as a result, I got what I was expecting when I put my feet in to these boots. . . they are uncomfortable and very stiff. However, I have worn boots for most of my 56 years and one thing I remember the most is this, the most uncomfortable boots to break-in have turned out to be the best ever. I have worn my Solovair's four times now, the most recent for 8 hours straight and I can feel they are starting to soften up and take on the shape of my feet. These are going to be much loved and well worn boots but it will take a while to be fully broken-in and comfortable. If you enjoy fine footwear and don't mind a lengthy break-in time, these are the quality boots you have been looking for."
"This is my daughter’s first pair of Solovair. I’ve been wearing and DMs since I was young, and I still have several pairs that are over 20 years old. I don’t wear them every day anymore, but they’re still going strong. Unfortunately, the last pair of DMs I bought barely lasted six months, so this time I decided to go straight to the source and buy Solovair. The quality is immediately noticeable. I’m not the one wearing these—my daughter absolutely loves them. Will they last 20 years? Probably not, because she’s 15 and plans to wear them constantly. But I’m confident they’ll last far longer than the handful of wears my last pair of DMs managed."
"These boots are top quality leather with great soles and are definitely worth investing in. I have several pairs of Solovairs and they last for years."
"Old School Quality. Good value for how good they are. Beautiful leather. Roughly 12 hours to break in with an insole. This is my third pair of Solovair. The oldest is about 11 years old (black greasy gibsons) and were worn 3-4 days a week. The uppers still look great with modest care."
"Super comfortable boots, with woollen socks pretty nice also in hot wheather. Delivery was pretty fast, without any problems (EU, Bulgaria). Catch eyes on the streets :)"
For general maintenance, apply Solovair Renovating Cream or a good quality shoe polish using a dry cloth or soft brush for buffing.
