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.

Solovair Classic Collection
Due to the nature of Gaucho leather used, each product may differ in finish and may require a layer of Dubbin wax 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.
FREE shipping on all footwear orders, with a 30 day return and exchange policy.
In the unfortunate event that you need to return your order, head over to our Returns Center. Simply enter your order number, email address and select the items that you wish to return. You will then have the option of a refund or exchange to another size or style.
All import duties/taxes are included in the prices shown.
Greasy leather needs to be fed with Dubbin wax, oil or grease for nourishment. Apply sparingly to avoid creating a dull appearance.

"Old School Quality. Good value for how good they are. Beautiful leather. Roughly 12 hours to break in with an insole. This is my third pair of Solovair. The oldest is about 11 years old (black greasy gibsons) and were worn 3-4 days a week. The uppers still look great with modest care."
"This is my daughter’s first pair of Solovair. I’ve been wearing and DMs since I was young, and I still have several pairs that are over 20 years old. I don’t wear them every day anymore, but they’re still going strong. Unfortunately, the last pair of DMs I bought barely lasted six months, so this time I decided to go straight to the source and buy Solovair. The quality is immediately noticeable. I’m not the one wearing these—my daughter absolutely loves them. Will they last 20 years? Probably not, because she’s 15 and plans to wear them constantly. But I’m confident they’ll last far longer than the handful of wears my last pair of DMs managed."
"Excellent shoes: comfortable, sturdy, and full of style. I recently traveled to London and bought a pair of Green Gaucho 8 Eye Derby boots in Camden; I liked the brand so much that I didn’t hesitate to buy my second pair. I’m very happy with my purchase."
"I bought the Navy Gaucho 8 Eye Derby Boot + insole. The colour is darker than shown on the internet. Very close to black but this is OK for me. When I purchase heavy shoes or boots I usually buy an 8. As I am planning to wear the boots with thin and thick socks, it was definitely the right decision. For everyone, who is not quite sure which size to chose I recommond to purchase the insole too. Sometimes I am also fine with a 7,5 (for sneakers for example). It is important to take some time and follow the instuction on the website regarding the shoesize and to measure the feet."
"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!"
"Wish I had found these sooner. I wouldn't have wasted so much money on shoes that I hated. These boots fit perfectly with very little break-in time required. Will definitely return when I'm ready for a new pair."
"Great Boots. I followed the instructions to try on a . 5 size down. Too tight! So I went true to size. Well made, shipped quickly, and very helpful customer service."
"Boots are comfortable as soon as I wore them. The customer service were amazing. I initially picked the wrong size but emailed them within a day of my error. They amended the size immediately. I can see and feel the quality of these boots compared to their competitors, and will probably last longer than me."
"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."
"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."
