Solovair 8 Eye Derby - Green Gaucho | Solovair

The Solovair 8 Eye Derby Boot - Green Gaucho is a classic handcrafted English Derby‑style boot that blends timeless workwear heritage with everyday versatility. Made in England by NPS Shoes - a manufacturer with over 140 years of shoemaking expertise - these boots are crafted on Solovair’s iconic Last 409, offering a roomy, rounded toe box and reliable fit. The upper is constructed from Green Gaucho/Crazy Horse full‑grain leather, an oiled and waxed pull‑up leather that develops a unique patina with wear, giving each pair its own character over time. Built with Goodyear welted construction for durability and ease of resoling, the boots also feature a Soft Suspension sole that provides light cushioning, traction and comfort for everyday use. The 8‑eye derby lacing system delivers an adjustable, secure fit, while the leather and synthetic lining combine breathable comfort with structure. Ideal for pairing with casual, rugged or heritage‑inspired outfits, these boots are designed to age beautifully the more they’re worn.

Care & Fit Notes

These boots benefit from occasional treatment with Dubbin wax to nourish the leather and support its natural pull‑up texture - avoid heavy cream polishes to preserve the rugged finish.
They may run slightly larger due to the traditional Goodyear welted last - many find half a size down more comfortable, especially if wearing thinner socks.
