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.

Greasy leather needs to be fed with Dubbin wax, oil or grease for nourishment. Apply sparingly to avoid creating a dull appearance.

Reviews

This is my daughter’s first

"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."

Old School Quality. Good value

"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."

— Jim P. (5/5)

Excellent shoes: comfortable, sturdy, and

"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."

— Felipe G. (5/5)

Great boot in an amazing style

"I absolutely love these boots. They are a great build quality. I originally bought these to replace my Dr. Martens of 10 years for going to concerts. These feel like they will outlast those. These are a unique look that blows away anything else I've encountered. They are perfect if you are looking for a pair of strong, great quality boost that stand out in a crowd."

— Franklin R. (5/5)

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!"

— Philip J. (5/5)

Probably last longer than me.

"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."

— Kevin C. (5/5)

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)

Extremely comfortable shoes which provide

"Extremely comfortable shoes which provide superior traction and balance across all manner of terrain - breaking in is painful but extremely short."

— Azu F. (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!"
