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.

"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."
"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."
"Awesome boots, comfortable straight out the box."
"Boots fit just right, they're great for style but I also use them for hiking on occassion and they're fantastic. Well worth the price"
"I was unable to locate size 5. 5 on your website, as the smallest option available was 6. Nevertheless, after including an insole, the fit is now ideal!"
"Headed into store to try out the same style before buying the Green boots and getting them delivered. I still can't quite believe just how soft and smooth the leather feels, and I love how they just felt almost instantly snug when I first got them on. 100% better than anything i've ever put on my feet before"
