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 8 Eye Derby Boot from Solovair's Classic Collection is praised for its amazing color, high-quality leather, and excellent customer service. Customers also appreciate the fast delivery and the perfect fit. However, there are mixed opinions on the sizing and break-in period.

"These are beautiful, well-made boots. I would describe them as roomy-true-to-size; I have a bunion and require a wide toe box, and these boots don't squeeze my feet and have space to accommodate thick socks. They are about as comfortable as a pair of combat boots can be right out of the box and will likely require less time to break in than I expected. I will be adding insoles because I like a little more arch support and a little more squish."
"These boots feel great so far, even during the break-in process. With each wear, they’re slowly becoming my own, developing more character one step at a time. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and am already looking forward to picking up another color!"
"I'm so very happy with my boots. It has finally made sense of why my other boots by your rival,just didn't have the same feel when worn. I'm glad I found my way back to the original boot I have been trying to find for the past few years...Thank you!"
"These are very nice boots. Thick leather, sturdy, no defects. Although the fit seems to be a little large for me in my usual size, they are very comfortable, can only imagine how good they must feel when they are properly broken in! Very happy with my purchase!"
"I am very happy with my purchase! The craftsmanship gives a high-quality impression; the leather is thick, and the color is truly beautiful. Naturally, the leather is a bit stiff at first, but I’ve been wearing the shoes for two days now, and they are already comfortable. Shipping was incredibly fast! I usually wear a UK size 4 / EU 37, but based on the size chart, I ordered a 3.5. That turned out to be too small— I recommend ordering your usual size! The customer service was excellent, and the exchange process was quick and hassle-free. Size 4 fits perfect. Thank you very much!"
"I absolutely love these boots. They are beautifully made and really comfortable. They remind me of similar boots I had in the 1970s. The leather is quite thick but is breaking in quite quickly. I have quite wide feet but these fit nicely. They arrived very quickly too."
"The boots feel comfortable right out of the box. The leather is an incredible deep cordovan colour. Really happy to be able to support UK made craftspeople"
"Amazing quality, I wouldn't look at any other brand other than Solovair. I was able to put them on and walk comfortably right away with a pair of Marino wool hiking socks. These boots are in a league of their own. Top quality leather and British manufacturing. Other boots are available but you would be wasting your money with them. Fantastic customer too and delivered straight to my door within days. Well done everyone in Solovair"
"Great boot, takes a long time to break in. im a mail carrier and it's been a month and they are still breaking in. Probably ordered a size too large since I'm in between sizes, probably would be comfortable in a step down in size"
"First impressions after a few wears – the boots are not broken in yet. The quality of the materials and stitching is excellent, and they feel like a well-made product. However, I find the sole a little thin. The boots feel tight across the instep, while the heel doesn't seem to hold my foot securely. I've never owned this type of boot before and am more used to hiking boots, so I may not be comparing like with like. These are simply my initial impressions."
