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.

"It is my new favorite shoe. I wish they had more formal oxfords as well, similar to what allen edmonds park or 5th avenue shoe, but these are my new favorite casual shoes. Exceptional quality. The leather insert i bought seperately is a perfect addition to this."
"Shoe looks good and feels of good quality, though i wouldnt know because i couldnt wear them because i trusted the sizing chart and bought the size too small. And now im scared the new shoes will not make it, in time for my friends wedding."
"Had to half-size down (heed this advice!!) and the exchange was painless. The shoe itself is excellent, not as brutal to wear in as I was expecting, looks great. I'm from Northampton originally (now in Glasgow) so it feels good to have a wee connection to Northamptonshire and what it's known for!"
"Solivar shoes are the most comfortable and well built shoes that I know of. The black greasy gibson is an understated but professional look."
"Look good with everything, for everything. Break in was not so bad, few days and now they're on par with my sneakers."
"Pretty chuffed with my new shoes. Pure quality. They need some wearing for the leather to form to your foot. But believe me, you won't be sorry buying these."
"A very nice shoe, well built and classy. , my only complaint is the toe box is a bit tight. I bought these to use as dress shoes so they won’t see extended use other than formal wear so it is not a huge deal. This is I think generally something I’d like to see from Solovair as most of their products have I think a narrow toe box."
"Nice to support English manufacturing,but that is only warranted if the product is good. These shoes are very well made,far better than anything made in South East Asia. Quality of materials first rate,and construction first rate. The fit.....well what can I say. Every shoe manufacturer has different sizes of the standard size. Eg a size 7 uk is a 6.5 uk in another manufacturers product etc. So I trusted the site guidance,measured my feet,added 5mm as directed and my size came up different from "normal". But,they were absolutely "bob-on" when I put them on. So my advice is,follow the guidance,it really does help. The shoes themselves fir really well,and leather is sooo comfortable out of the box. I am "wearing them in" around the house at present and they are like slippers on thefeet. So good Ive just ordered another pair in black,"for town"."
"Perfect! I love these shoes. They’re beautiful, well-made and so comfortable. (I added a 3/4 insert to add a little extra arch. )"
"I am realy pleased with my Gibson shoes, the greasy leather look is great. Broken in quite quickly. This is my third pair of Solovairs. I like the quality and comfort of both boots and shoes."
