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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"Great quality! I ordered a size smaller which was a bit tight in the front at first, but they have already stretched out within a week! Customer service was also good with returning"
"My rating above is premature as I’ve not worn them out side yet. They are lovely but left foot is tight but it fits and the right foot is a bit too but not bad. Do they loosen much over time and how soon after wear?"
"You can see and feel the high quality. They are comfortable even though I ordered a size down like recommended by other reviews. I'm a 5. 5 so usually I go with size 6 shoes but with these I had to choose a 5. Definitely needed to step into them."
"Love Solovair shoes. Very comfortable, good looking, well made and they get through airport security without taking them off. I now have 3 pairs."
"I searched around for a good pair of loafers that were comfortable all day, worked with corporate casual outfits and had soles grippy enough for walking in from the wet to terrazzo floors. After a some trial-and-error, these were the clear winners. They have a much lower profile than the Dr. Martens, FWIW, I recommend going up a half size and adding the cushioned foam inserts."
"The look amazing, I am an EU39, bought 5. 5 rather than a 6 and the fit is excellent. I am on my second wear, a few bruise points where the leather is hard so only going with average for initial comfort expect this to improve over time, but no blisters caused by slippage had I sized up. Very happy."
