Solovair is a British footwear brand with over 130 years of shoemaking heritage, handcrafted in Northamptonshire since 1881. Known for its Goodyear welted construction and signature soft suspension sole, the brand combines traditional craftsmanship with understated edge. The name—short for “Sole-of-Air”—speaks to its legacy of innovation, most notably manufacturing the original Dr. Martens boots under license in the 1960s.
Today, Solovair continues to produce timeless silhouettes—derbies, loafers, monkey boots, and more—using high-quality leathers and age-old techniques. Each pair is made in the same factory where it all began, reflecting a commitment to durability, comfort, and British-made authenticity. It’s footwear with heritage—built to last and made to wear in, not out.
