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.

The Black Hi-Shine 10 Eye Steel Toe Capped Derby Boot is praised for its high-quality leather, excellent craftsmanship, and comfortable fit. Customers appreciate the fast shipping and the fantastic look of the boots. While some customers noted a break-in period, others found them comfortable right away. Opinions on sizing varied, with some recommending going down half a size.

"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 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."
"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"
"These are my favorite work boots. I am able to wear them 5 days a week for 2 years straight. This is my 5th or 6th pair of Gripfast's. I only get new ones cause the soles wear down (and I don't feel like getting the soles replaced), the uppers are still in great condition."
"This is my first pair of Solovair boots, moved over from Dr. Martens. As promised by many folks online within punk circles as well as in other places these feel much higher quality than typical Martens. The wear-in is going to be a bit harsher I think, but I'm very pleased with initial quality (also I initially ordered the wrong size by a fluke and the exchange process was painless)."
"A beautiful boot! I initially ordered a 7. 5 which was too large, but was easily able to swap it out for a 7 which fits well. I imagine the fit would be even better for someone with wide feet. Some tiny ring-shaped pieces (leather? plastic?) fell out of the eyelets when I was lacing the boots but there has otherwise been no issue."
"Very good boots. Cool 😎 boots. I like them. I'll be getting more boots in the future."
"solovair/gripfast are the best"
"Excellent boots. Easiest boot to break in that I’ve ever owned!! Pretty comfy as well."
"Got called a cute goth girl twice. I'm a guy. 10/10, would recommend."
