"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"
Oxblood Hi-Shine 10 Eye Steel Toe Capped Derby Boot
This is our widest fitting last with a broad, round and deep toe. If you have a wider foot or prefer a more roomy fit then it’s true to size. For narrower feet, go down ½ size or fit according to the length of your foot, adding 5mm to your measurement for comfort.
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.

Durable and long lasting
"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
"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
"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."
Excellent boots. Easiest boot to
"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."

"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
"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!"
