Design & Finish:

The Black Greasy leather is a matte, slightly textured material that develops a distinctive patina over time. As the leather is uncoated, it absorbs moisture and changes in appearance as it ages, giving each pair a unique look. While this process enhances the leather’s character, it also means the boots may transfer dye onto lighter clothing or absorb water, potentially causing marks. To keep the boots in top condition and preserve their look, it's recommended to apply a layer of Dubbin wax or oil. This nourishes the leather and makes it more resistant to water and stains.

Fit & Sizing:

Solovair boots tend to fit slightly larger than other brands. To achieve the best fit, consider buying half a size smaller than your usual size, or use Solovair’s cushioned socks in your regular size for a slightly snugger fit. This will help reduce the break-in period and ensure comfort from the start.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the appearance and durability of your Solovair 6 Eye Astronaut Boot in Black Greasy:

• Protection: Apply a suede or leather protectant before the first wear to help guard against dirt and moisture.

• Maintenance: After wearing, use a suede brush to remove any dust and keep the leather looking fresh.

• Leather Nourishment: Use Dubbin wax, oil, or grease to condition the leather and prevent it from drying out. Apply sparingly to avoid dulling the finish.
