Win A Pair Of Shoes From Solovair
Giving three lucky readers a chance to win a pair of 3-eye Gibson's!
Every person should have at least one pair of leather shoes in their rotation. Depending on the style, a leather shoe will have some level of versatility when it comes to applying them to different types of outfits — you can’t go wrong with pairing some straight denim to wear with them for example, or you can go super casual mode by wearing some sweatpants with leather derbys. These are all just examples though, and how you rock your footwear all depends on your personal style.
There are a lot of options out there, but Soloviar is a brand I keep in my back pocket when I’m looking for something with good quality that doesn’t destroy my bank account. Solovair is a true OG… They’ve been around since 1881 and were a key player that helped birth the now iconic Dr. Martens boot. Interestingly enough, for a while up until the 90s, there was a licensing deal called Dr Martens made by Solovair.
Fast forward 100+ years and Solovair is still doing its thing by creating various styles of leather footwear, each pair crafted by hand from a factory out of Wollaston, Northamptonshire, in England. Their classic lineup is booming, with collaborations between brands like Noah and Ronning that have helped elevate their classics by introducing new and exciting styles to their catalog.
You can hit up their blog to learn all about their collaborative projects.
You can check out Solovair’s classic collection here, which includes all of their iconic styles including the 8 Eye Derby Boot, 3 Eye Gibson Shoe, Astronaut Boot, Dealer Boot, Monkey Boot and Tassel Loafer — for me personally, I’m a huge fan of the 3 eye Gibson, Buckle Monk Shoe and the Urban Hiker boot. I find that these can easily be incorporated in a more streetwear fit while still keeping that level of elegance that can be worn in a more dressed-up way.
For the sizing, boots are typically a full size larger, so go a full size down, for their shoes they are slightly bigger so I suggest going down .5 of your regular size. Solovair Gibsons tend to run slightly larger, but with that being said the leather will stretch out over time, so depending on your foot, you might be fine going true to size — if you’re still unsure though you can use their Sizing Guide to confirm. On top of that, Solovair offers 30-day return and exchange policy where you can either get a refund or an exchange on your purchase!
Oh, almost forgot to mention — Solovair really goes above and beyond to offer sizing for almost everyone… We’re talking about sizing starting at 4 US all the way to size 15 US. Now that’s something you don’t get to see every day, and I know how hard it is to find some good-looking footwear in either really big or really small sizes. On top of that, they also offer their shoes in half-sizes to be able to accommodate their customers needs.
