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.

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.

The Black Hi-Shine Gibson Shoe from Solovair's Classic Collection is praised for its exceptional quality, perfect fit, and great style. Customers also appreciate the fast delivery, high-quality leather, and fantastic color. The look and feel of the shoe are highly regarded, though sizing feedback is mixed. Excellent customer service is another highlight.

"Bought a black shiny pair of these around 35 years ago. Worn literally daily for about 15 years, regular use a few times a week for ten years now occasional use. A few pairs of laces but original soles still good. Uppers still really good. Exceptional shoes."
"An amazing pair of shoes! The quality of the materials and the overall looks are great, as well as the color. I expected the brand new leather to be uncomfortable, but surprisingly they already are very confortable to wear! I love them"
"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."
"Loved them but too big and returned them I ordered an 8.5 and may order an 8 as a special birthday present to myself in February 2027. I think my feet have shrunk in my old age and only my running shoes need to be 8.5"
"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."
"Very nice and high quality shoes. Fast delivery in France."
"Look good with everything, for everything. Break in was not so bad, few days and now they're on par with my sneakers."
"Five star quality, however there was no blue on the leather. Had to fill in the navy with acrylic"
