The Solovair Rub Off 6 Eye Astronaut Boot in Burgundy brings the brand's distinctive rub-off leather treatment to the versatile ankle-height Astronaut silhouette. The rub-off finish features a deeper burgundy surface layer that gradually wears away with use, revealing the warmer, lighter leather underneath. This creates a striking two-tone effect that makes every pair unique to its owner.
Produced entirely at the NPS Shoes factory in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, this boot inherits over 140 years of English bootmaking tradition. The Goodyear welted construction secures the rub-off leather upper to Solovair's signature air-cushioned bouncing sole with its distinctive grey perimeter stitch — the hallmark of an authentic Solovair boot.
The burgundy rub-off is a particularly eye-catching finish. The darker burgundy tones sit across the surface when new, but as you wear the boots, the toe cap, heel, and natural creasing points gradually lighten to reveal warm, reddish-brown base leather beneath. You have control over this process: buffing with a dry cloth accelerates the reveal, while applying darker polish preserves the original surface.
The 6-eye Astronaut profile sits at the ankle, making it an ideal everyday boot that is easy to put on and style with a wide range of outfits. The lower cut works naturally with slim and straight-leg jeans, chinos, and casual trousers. Inside, a micro-porous insole with antibacterial treatment provides all-day comfort, while the bouncing sole ensures cushioned support from the first step.
This is a boot for those who appreciate footwear that evolves and develops character through genuine wear rather than artificial treatment.
