Incredible service after a faulty tassel

In September of 2025 I had purchased a pair of Solovair Tassel Loafers for a friend's wedding. After one wear the tassel sadly broke off. I had emailed Solovair to see if they were able to help repair and luckily they were.
I didn't follow up on this until June 2026 (which I wish I didn't leave for so long).
I sent the shoe on 3rd June and received an email from Joanne to say that the shoe has been received from the courier and it will take 10-14 days to repair.

Today is 10th June, a week after sending the shoe by a courier and I have the shoe back and repaired. Incredible service. Fast repair and fast return.

I would like to thank the entire solovair team for their great, fast service.

I have purchased 3 pairs of Solovairs and this has been the only time I have had a fault which was very quickly fixed. I will continue to shop Solovair in the future.

Viv & the Team have always been fast and efficient, answering our questions patiently and informatively.
We look forward to receiving the products soon, and giving our feet the footwear they deserve :D
Based on this experience, we will def look to buy Solovair in future.

Better than "Docs" in every way

Fast delivery and high quality boots.
After being very disappointed by my last pair of Doc Martens 1460 Made in England (apparently even with these, the quality is going down the drain), I needed a suitable replacement.
The Solovair equivalent (8-eye derby boots) are just the ticket, and from now on I’ll only be buying these without shedding a tear for Docs.
I wore them brand new, straight out of the box, for a 4-day music festival and they never let me down and were never uncomfortable.
I can’t comment on the long-term quality yet, but they seem at least as good as my old ‘Made in England’ Docs, and the sole is definitely better.
The ‘boot topic’ is now sorted for some years (hopefully), but when I need some again:
Solovair Derby Boots all the way!

Great service

Background, I purchased a pair of monkey boots a year ago and they are too narrow for my feet and couldn't wear them anymore. I called customer service who gave me a lovely discount on a wider boot which is fabulous.
Great service from a Great British company.

I had recently purchased a pair of the tassel loafers and one of the tassel’s had fallen off on a night out. I reached out to customer service and they kindly replaced the tassel free of charge and covered the cost of the cobbler to fix it. I was blown away by the level of customer service received. Viv and Karen we’re extremely helpful from start to finish!!

Great boots. Great customer service

First. The boots are fantastic. I’m excited to see how they turn out long-term but so far I’m impressed. Also, I had a return and their customer service was above and beyond.

Outstanding Customer Service & boots!

Had to return a pair of limited edition Derby boots due to a minor issue and the return was handled very smoothly and quickly with full refund of the purchase price and delivery cost plus a prepaid return label supplied. Sadly there was no further production run planned so it looked like I would need to order a different style. Joanne stepped in and managed to locate a pair of the same boot uppers that were then put through manufacture and sent out specifically for me. Outstanding service, and I couldn’t be happier with my new boots. I can thoroughly recommend Solovair footwear and their customer service.

I had an issue with the welt in my shoe splitting and they were wonderful about it. They explained how it could have happened and offered me a replacement pair as a gesture of good will. The boots are extremely comfortable and require hardly any time to break in. Great customer service.

Held up beautifully after a motorcycle accident

About a year and a half ago, I purchased a pair of Solovairs. I'd originally bought Doc Martens and loved them, but when I found out they couldn't be re-soled, I did some research and discovered that Solovair were the original makers in England, so I made the switch.

Fast forward to about three weeks ago. I was wearing them while riding my motorcycle when I was sideswiped and went down on the interstate at around 50mph. Every article of clothing I had on was essentially torn off, and I ended up with extensive second degree road rash burns that required skin grafting and a week in the hospital.

The road rash started exactly where the top of the boots stopped. I have multiple broken bones and road rash everywhere, but my feet are completely fine, and that's because of your boots. As painful as this recovery has been, I can't imagine how much worse it would be if I couldn't walk.

I wanted to share this because quality genuinely matters. Those boots saved my feet, and I'm grateful I was wearing them. The only thing that gave way were the laces, which is about as irrelevant as it gets as they weren't the ones protecting me.

I loved the look, and how they felt, but after this accident and seeing first hand how they held up, I'll be recommending them to anyone who will listen. Please know you now have a loyal customer for life.

Although the shoes I ordered had to go back as they were a bit wide, they were lovely. The best bit was the amazing customer service. Spoke to Joanne who was so helpful, helped with a return and gave me good advice about looking for a different last when I order in future. Would definitely recommend

Hello, I am sorry to note the comments regarding your dealings with us to date. We acknowledge that you did sign up to a limited edition style, but did not receive a notification as the style was only made in a small batch of selected sizes, which did not include the actual size you wanted. I understand, following your email to us, my colleague has responded suggesting you do try a smaller size due to the generosity of our footwear, after taking into account the measurements provided. With regard to the responses issued on our system, we do provide generic information to customers as this can answer and resolve many questions and queries. Our customer service team however do read and review each email received to ensure the correct and appropriate information has been provided, and respond personally if not. Please do respond to our email regarding the suggested sizing recommendation so we can hopefully get you into a pair of our footwear.

Excellent in-store customer service

Ordered a pair of Dealer boots online, but the size was too small. I spoke to Joanne at NPS, who arranged an in-store exchange. Mandy at the Wollaston store was incredibly helpful, ensuring I got the correct fit and handling the swap seamlessly. An excellent in-store customer experience.

Durability of a Toyota Hilux

I’ve recently purchased another pair of your Gaucho Crazy Horse dealer boots.

My previous pair lasted me over 5 years and travelled through 10+ countries. I wore them almost every day, and they were honestly the most impressive shoes I’ve ever owned in terms of durability.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how the new pair holds up over time. Really appreciate the quality you put into your footwear.

I bought a pair of Solovair boots about 2 years ago. I've worn them heavily since then, and to be honest haven't taken as good care of them as I could have done, but they're still in great condition overall. I don't know anywhere that does leather boots this good that aren't a lot more expensive than Solovair. I hope they haven't changed in the meantime, as I was thinking of buying a new pair (not to replace the old mind you, I just want an extra pair)

I was introduced to the brand via many youtube channels and reviews, and man, they were right.
shoes are way better than the DcM, no comparison, just the better leather quality and the shank structure of the sole made them way more robust and comfortable. I had an accident with mine, extensive use while doing dog runs maybe, and the customer service answer to my incident was a full warranty coverage in a matter of minutes. top quality, top service support, top sincere and nice communication (I pestered for weeks prior to my purchase enquiring about boot structure to accept my orthos special inner soles) never flinching, always nice and best boot for money ;) this is my third pais, I can only have to make more space in the wardrobe for more
