Let's involve real people in Customer Service

Generally a very good business and after much legwork on my part a resolution has been achieved. Hopefully, the company will learn from this and tweak their systems. In general it's a great product and I cover 100s of miles in all of my pairs
I love the boots and have multiple pairs. However, when things go wrong such as them sending me a pair of size 6 boots in a box that said size 9 it seems as though their barrier of artificial intelligence rather than human beings is designed to prevent an easy resolution. Do Docs suffer the same problem?
Currently very much out of pocket and expected to buy a printer then travel 20 miles in order to solve their mistake!

Hello Tim, We are extremely sorry that the size you ordered was not what was received and that this meant that a return was necessary. We will, of course, highlight the matter to the relevant individuals to ensure no repetition occurs. I believe that you have now spoken with our Customer Service Team who have confirmed the nearest DHL Express drop off point was much closer than thought and that you now have also been sent a QR code for ease. We do hope that now the matter has been successfully resolved you will consider your review to reflect the positive outcome
Kind regards

Solovair: Fine craftsmanship, superlative service

Solovair immediately took steps to correct a manufacturing flaw on a pair of Black Greasy Dealer Boots. They worked professionally, kindly and swiftly to remedy the issue. How? They sent me a replacement pair and even made a last-minute change despite it was my ambiguity that made the change necessary. Fine craftsmanship and superlative, personal service! A rare combination these days.

Amazing customer service

So I bought a pair of vegan leather boots, which started to fall apart a bit too early. I contacted Solovair and they very kindly offered me a new pair for free. They even let me choose another model and I only had to pay the difference of the prices (which were like 10 bucks). Shipped it immediatly and even included a free Renovating Cream. Great, generous customer service that seem almost to good to be true but it's not!!

Costumer service was outstanding

Costumer service was outstanding. Bought a pair of dealer boots almost a year ago for my girlfriend, she loved them. The sole got cracked and was beyond repair, when I reached out to them with this issue given the nature of the crack and being unable to fix it, they sent a replacement.
All the good name this brand has is absolutely spot on and they really live up to it. They replied quickly and took care of it.

I honestly recommend Solovair :D

Customer service spot on

Had a small problem with a pair of 9 month old Dealer boots where the welt had failed a little at one of the toes. I got in touch with Customer services who offered the choice of a repair at any local cobbler and they would reimburse costs or send back to them for repair. I tried a couple of local cobblers but neither had the hot tool required to re welt the sole where it had come away. I told CS I’d need to return and they gave me a return label. Boots returned to me in just over a week. Great service!

Poor quality

Sadly, after two years of wearing the shoe, they still squeak loudly. Also, the sole has cracked at the side. So, frankly, I wouldn't bother buying Solovair. Seems like shoes are made better elsewhere.

I had a really excellent experience…

I had a really excellent experience with NPS Shoes / Solovair.

I contacted customer support regarding an issue with a pair of boots, and the response was prompt, clear and genuinely helpful. Karen and the team took the time to look into the matter properly, communicated clearly throughout, and resolved everything quickly and professionally.

It’s rare these days to deal with a company that combines high-quality British manufacturing with equally high-quality customer service, but NPS really do. The whole process felt fair, human, and refreshingly straightforward.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them — both for the boots themselves and for how they look after their customers when something needs sorting.

Great Footwear & great delivery

I love my Solovair footwear & it feels extra special buying them direct from the factory. I’ve purchased two pairs of astronaut boots lately & I feel a pair of Brogues coming on soon. Have confidence in they’re online measuring system, it’s very accurate. Returns accepted & returning bag supplied. The courier service is DHL Express UK & it’s very good (lots of updates & realtime map tracking). Delivery usually 2 days

Excellent customer service.

Shipping (to Australia) was super fast - always has been from Solovair where I’ve bought several pairs over the years. This time, there was a slight flaw with the shoes. Solovair instantly agreed to send a replacement pair, which arrived in about 3 days, and this pair is, as usual, perfect. Great shoes and great service.

Here's a not positive review

There are a lot of positive views here but that wasn't my experience. As mentioned in other reviews hard to get to talk to a person and the sizes are off:
Tips if ordering:
1) Order a half size smaller
2) Know that if you have to send the shoes back as they don't fit and you ask for a replacement this will eat into your return window.
3) Choose 'Other' if trying to contact otherwise you will get an automated response

Not been a great experience

This Company Values Its Customers

Such a fantastic, old-school customer service experience. I am in the States, I had a fatal delivery issue with UPS, and Viv at Solovair took absolute care of me. I am now a Solovair customer, for life.

Excellent service

The flame rub offs I purchased from NPS Solovair were gorgeous! They're my first pair from this company. I've been a fan of Dr. Martens for years and when I found out this company actually used to make their boots back in the day, I had to try it out. Once I got my boots, they felt great from the size I usually wear (9). Customer service responds within 24 hours of inquiry. When I first ordered them, there were no updates which led me to contact customer service and they sorted right away once they responded. I recommend them if you're looking for an alternative of Dr. Martens.

Buying online should always be this good

I ordered the wrong size boots. My fault entirely. But these were a Christmas gift for my son and this was just a few days before Christmas. I contacted Solovair and they led me through the returns process. They told me to return the wrong boots, order a new pair in the correct size, and they would refund that purchase.
Long story short - within THREE DAYS I had the right size boots, and the refund in my account.
ALL online purchases should be this good, this organised, this trouble free and this pleasant.
Solovair were charming, efficient, understanding, reactive and a delight from start to finish.
Perfect. 10/10
