Due to the nature of Greasy leather a layer of Dubbin may be required to achieve the pictured look.

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.

Reviews

Out of the Box Comfort

"Out of the Box Comfort and Incredible Quality I couldn’t be happier with my Solovair 8-Eye Derby Boots in Gaucho Crazy Horse leather. The leather has a fantastic, rugged texture that already looks full of character and is noticeably softer than traditional smooth leather, making the break-in period incredibly easy. The build quality is top-tier, and that classic suspension sole provides amazing all-day comfort. You can really feel the heritage and craftsmanship that goes into these. Easily a full five stars—highly recommended if you want a premium boot that looks great and is built to last!"

I only wear these boots.

"I only wear these boots. I have only worn these boots. I have brown and black dress shoes for special occasions, but other than that, I wear these. Work, play, camping, hiking, travel, everything. They take about a week to break in and last about five years before the soles are worn. Best boots on the planet."

— Jon W. (5/5)

My feet are wide across

"My feet are wide across the base of the toes but I have very narrow heels, and these just aren’t made for this foot shape. I started with my usual size, which fitted great around the toes but were huge around the heels. Went down half a size, the heel was better but my toes were pinched and the boot was also fractionally too short. Absolutely gutted."

— Elizabeth S. (2/5)

"This was a Fathers Day gift! My dad loved the material and the way it felt on his feet! He loved original and well crafted shoes/boots. He absolutely loves them!! Thank you!"

— Scarlet (5/5)

Love the look and feel

"Love the look and feel of the boot. Fair warning, I have wide feet and needed to purchase a half-size up for the toe to be comfortable (normally wear men size 5, purchased men size 5. 5). Leather was a little stiff when I first put them on, but that's to be expected for brand new boots. Can't wait to wear them in!"

— Margaret L. (4/5)

I saw these amazing boots

"I saw these amazing boots online, and only took a week to arrive in Australia. The quality is exceptional, and my usual shoe size was just perfect. I can't wait to wear them all winter long. Very happy with this purchase."

— Rosanna R. (5/5)

This company is the best and their boots are solid

"Bought a pair of there for my birthday but they didn’t last long at all due to faulty stitch and this company literally responded back quickly and sent me free replacement boots of the same kind and those actually lasted a lot longer. Still got em"

— Gustavo R. (5/5)

I'm very happy with my

"I'm very happy with my purchase! What made it even better was the fantastic customer service I received. I ordered a pair that was too large and the team was very patient and worked with me to ensure I got the right fit. I ended up sizing down. Much lighter than I expected them to be, which makes wearing them even better."

— Bell H. (5/5)

Loving my new Solovairs. They

"Loving my new Solovairs. They look and feel amazing - sharp and shiny! I usually buy size 10 but with some other boots I feel a slight slip so I took advantage of the half-sizes and 9. 5 is perfect in this instance. They are stiff to start with but I am enjoying the feeling of breaking them in to fit my feet. Fast delivery and a great price for a true British-made icon."

— Neil H. (5/5)

I will never buy docs

"I will never buy docs again. Even without the add on insoles, they are so much for comfortable and feel sturdier. The leather feels thicker and higher quality. The only thing that I'm not so keen on is the shallow tread. I prefer a deeper rugged tread for better grip. That being said these aren't standard work boots and are really made for only street wear. Regardless, I talked my brother into buying a pair and plan on getting some for my daughter. I went with a 7. 5 US. I'm an 8. 5/9 in athletic shoes and 8 in the other boot brand. Customer service is excellent. Had a minor issue with a boot and they responded immediately and took care of it."
