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.

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.

"Wow, what quality. They take some breaking in, for sure. And I wish the inserts they sold came in half sizes, but cutting down the larger insert was trivial. Still breaking them in but as some who has bought vegan dress shoes for decades, this is the nicest pair I've ever owned."
"Really exceptional shoes. Look nice and they’re great quality. All of my coworkers thought they were real leather, and they feel really great. They take a while to break in and are pretty uncomfortable when you start wearing them, but after a while they’re pretty comfortable. I strongly recommend a pair of good insoles. It feels like walking on concrete otherwise. I got superfeet insoles, but I’m sure the ones Solovair sells are nice too. Just buy something."
"i love them"
"La brillance n’est pas trop brillante, la coupe est parfaite, le produit est de qualité, mais il faut prévoir de prendre une taille en dessous par rapport à sa taille habituelle. Je chausse du EU 43+ et j’ai dû acheter du UK 8."
"Having never owned a pair of Solvair shoes, I was a bit dubious about buying shoes online and whether they would live up to their reputation. I did not need to worry. As a teacher I am on my feet all day and these shoes are, not only the most comfortable shoes to wear for the whole day as well as wear on trips, they are also made so well that they look like they’ll last forever. SO pleased with my purchase and I’ll definitely be buying more of the vegan shoes. I am a size 11 in EVERY shoe I have ever bought as an adult. With an insole these are perfect, but I’d probably try a 10. 5 first next time as they are very roomy."
"I love the look and feel of quality in these shoes, they are perfect for my work. I ordered my usual size and it fits nicely, only without the extra insole I had also purchased. Thankfully I needed it for a different pair so it's not wasted."
"Excellent fit, great shoe. My 3 rd pair of Solovair gibsons!"
"The shoe looks beautiful and with the right size it fits very comfortable. I need the shoe half a size smaller then usual. I can't tell much about wearing the shoe for a whole day, because I spare them for my wedding day. I will give an update under more concrete circumstances. The service was amazing! The express shipping was very express. I needed to retour my first order, because of the size. The retour was very fast as well and without any problems. I just can recommend my purchase-experience so far."
"Just perfect"
"Really nice, solid, vegan shoes. I’ve been looking for good vegan shoes for ages! And they break in pretty quickly. Delivery was super quick."
