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
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.
All import duties/taxes are included in the prices shown.
For general maintenance, apply Solovair Renovating Cream or a good quality shoe polish using a dry cloth or soft brush for buffing.

The Burgundy Rub-Off 10 Eye Steel Toe Capped Derby Boot is praised for its excellent craftsmanship, high-quality leather, and comfortable fit. Customers appreciate the fast shipping and the boots' appearance, though opinions vary on the break-in period.

"Lovely boots, good value stunning looking, only fault was uneven sanding around the sole edge, I had to sand it by hand with various grades of wet and dry to correct the really bad section. Fit is generous, I like some room they're not generous over the top of the foot though, laces won't pull as closed as I like. Decent value and very striking."
"I love the colour (burgundy rub off), mega comfy straight out the box..I'm usually a size 11 and went for a 10 1/2, I find the gripfast runs half a size larger, and I can wear thick socks and they fit just lovely. They don't seem to be too squeaky, I usually go for the gaucho or greasy but have one pair of high shine and they are squeaky but these are nice and quiet so far, I have just had them. I'm sure they'll last me a long time, they're very well made, very cool pair of boots."
"I love my Gripfast boots. I used to wear them long ago. Haven't had a pair in almost 20years. While some things have changed slightly they are as comfortable as I remember. I dig the greasy leather."
"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"
"I can’t even review the product because two weeks later and my shipment is still on hold by customs. Apparently NPS shipped my boots as a bulk item on a pallet, and customs or DHL or whoever won’t release the shipment until all items on the pallet have been processed and cleared. Had I known this would have been an issue I probably would have gone with a different seller."
"I got these boots, slightly worried that they'd be too big for me according to the foot measurements on the size guide but I took the chance anyway because the design and style of the boots is just unmatched. I have relatively wide feet and also wear orthopedic insoles in all my shoes so I hoped that might give me a better chance of them fitting. Happily, they fit perfectly and still have comfortable amount of room in the toe box (width-wise). The leather also feels amazing and the shoes feel perfectly rigid and supportive as I like them."
"My tried and true. Have loved these boots for years. Noticed some differences from the new pair compared to my old pair like different look on the metal eyelets, bottom stitching near the sole looks closer together, hopefully all just small improvements on the perfect boot. Did notice that one of my tags on the back was facing the wrong direction tho lololol"
"Sehr guter Schuh gute Qualität vielen Dank"
"Started with the break in, but is already Feeling great. Good leather quality and colour."
