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.
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 8 Eye Zip Derby Boot is praised for its excellent craftsmanship, soft and genuine leather, and fantastic look. Customers appreciate the convenience of the zipper and the fast shipping. However, opinions on the fit vary, with some recommending ordering a size up.

"I measured my foot 27,2 cm and ordered size 8 but that was too tight for me and replaced them for size 9. Replacement was fast and hassle-free. Size 9 feels perfect for me; toes touch the front but aren't pressed against it. I just got them today and took them for a break-in ride. I don't think I've had shoes that actually fit me before. I always thought I was size EU45 instead the 43 I'm wearing now. Got the insole cushions and fancy laces as well."
"Bought the greasy 8 hole derby in my usual size (9. 5). This was comfortable but a little loose around the forefoot. The size 9 is perfect! High quality, thick leather that fits and hugs the heel and the whole foot. These are how I remember the boots to be when I wore them in the eighties. Ask me in a few days how the break-in is going…"
"I already had the same boots without the zip and bought the version with zip for convenience. I wear them with inlay soles so bought half a size up. Fit is great for my slightly wider feet. The boots are comfortable even when walking for hours. I look forward to wearing them for a long time."
"Great shoes and amazing quality. Even the leather is really sturdy at the beginning I can wear them the whole day without getting pressure sores or blisters. That is also a great surprise. Would absolute recommend. Just buy it a half size smaller then your normal size. Was the same for me and my husband that we needed a halb size smaller."
"I originally bought the wrong size. Easy to return and custumer service was helpful. The boots are nice and somewhat comfortable. Leather stretches out a bit so i know they will get better over time."
"Amazing boots. First pair of Solovairs. Just as nice, if not nicer, than my Docs from the early & mid 90s. Much nicer than the Asian made fake Docs. They just need to make some rub off green zip derbys now."
"They are definitely 1/2 size down from your usual size. Other than that, I could not be happier with them."
"Love them bought my sister a pair too. Comfy wide tie box wear em everywhere"
"I purchase expensive and inexpensive boots regularly but none compare to these. I wear them every to work and even walking the dogs in the evening. Tight fit initially and can be difficult to put on since i prefer the side zipper and i don’t loosen the laces. I don’t normally write reviews and i’m not going to compare other brands, but these boots are the best i’ve ever owned. Looking to order more once the tarrif insanity ends."
"I wear these boots for work, I'm an electrician and I typically walk 13-18,000 steps per day. 8 months later, these are still very comfortable and I'll often wear them all weekend as well. The zipper is great, as it makes them slip on very quickly. I'd buy another set in a heartbeat."
