Black in the Hi Shine finish is the most formal boot Solovair make. It arrives glossy, holds the gloss with very little effort, and comes up to a genuine mirror on the toe if you are prepared to spend twenty minutes on it. Black laces, dark eyelets and a black sole keep it monochrome; the only relief is the pale welt stitch round the edge and the green Solovair loop at the heel. Eight pairs of eyelets bring the shaft well above the ankle.
It is the Solovair boot that gets closest to a smart shoe. Under dark trousers it reads as a boot rather than as a statement, and it will sit alongside an Oxford shoe in the same wardrobe rather than competing with it. Equally it takes turned-up jeans and a donkey jacket, which is where most of these boots have always ended up.
Made in England, entirely at the NPS Shoes factory in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, by a firm that has been making footwear since 1881. Construction is Goodyear welted to Solovair's air-cushioned sole — the sole of air behind the name — and the outsole is stitched to a welt rather than glued, so it can be replaced when it wears through. The lining is leather and synthetic.
The last is Solovair's 409, cut roomy: a rounded toe with a good deal of height above the foot. It is the wider of the two shapes Solovair use across the Classic boots, and the sensible choice if other English boots pinch across the joints.
Every pair is genuine Solovair, with free UK delivery on orders over £50.
