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 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.
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.

The Black Greasy Penny Loafer from Solovair's Classic Collection offers a beautiful and comfortable look. The shoes are made with high-quality leather, providing a soft and substantial feel. Many customers rave about the perfect fit and fast shipping. However, opinions vary on the size, with some recommending going half a size smaller.

"Very well made, substantial, great leather. The fit is a bit weird though. Narrow in the tow and wide in the back. Slips off the heal despite choosing a half size down. It gets better with a thin insole to push the foot up against the “tongue” area. A tough fit if you have a long and narrow foot. Might be easier for a wide and “meaty” foot."
"Absolutely love this item. Classy, high quality, and stiff enough out of the box that I know comfort is on the horizon. They run slightly large, but a heel pad to snug them up solved all of my problems. The pebble grain looks amazing by the way."
"The quality of the leather is very good, almost better than the pictures as well as the stitching. They fit large for me as I usually wear a size 10. 5, but the extra space in the toe box makes up for the little bit of heel slippage. I bought some heel spacers to fix the problem and they’re pretty much perfect now."
"These are really nice, feels like good quality. The fit is really narrow in the toes and very wide in the heel. Had to go half a size down, then the toes got even tighter, but I still had heel slippage."
"Absolutely love these shoes but unfortunately ended up having to return them for a refund due to sizing issue. I never wear anything other than a size 8 and have a pair of Solovair brogues in an 8 that are the same last and they fit fine. However, for some reason these loafers in a size 8 were way too big as was the 7. 5 that I exchanged them for. I then exchanged those for a size 7 and was gutted to find them way too small."
"happy with the purchase"
"Great pair of loafers. Wanted them for ages. Colour is lighter in reality than on a screen. Building is strong, quality feeling is high. Comfort is great, as it is with every Solovair I own. Shipping is supersonic. I own a pair of Monkey boots, size 9, my wife has boots, loafers and brogues. She told me to get the same size for boots and loafers, it’s very true. But it’s a whole size under in comparison with sneakers, for example."
"wonderful just needed a Boots insole to make shoes extra comfy , they look so smart goodbye trainers feel like a better person wearing them"
"My first pair of Solovairs and they are excellent, Fit like a glove and very comfortable."
"First purchase from Solovair, i am amazed by the high quality feel and look of the loafer. Initially ordered one size too large and exchanged, whoke return process was easy, efficient and fast, so i an overall more than satisfied!"
