Top Customer Care
I ordered a pair of boots from Solovair but when they arrived they were two different shades of the same colour. After sending photos to Viv at Solovair she swung into action. Once I returned the original boots Viv hand picked a replacement pair to make sure they were perfect and sent them out ASAP.
Customer service
Although my purchase wasn't quite the colourway I expected, the prompt response and continued support from Solovair with regards to my request for a return and refund, were both dealt with in a timely, most professional efficient and stress free manner, I will definitely purchase from this company again and highly recommend to my friends and family. Buy with confidence. Great product, great company. Thank you all at Solovair.
Outstanding in every respect
Solovair's products and customer service are absolutely first class - the best you could possibly wish for. I have just bought a pair of 8 eye gaucho leather derby boots and I needed to size down a half size to ensure a perfect fit. All three people I dealt with (Viv, Joanne and Mandy) were exceptional and the boots are perfect (so, so much better than the competition). This is the fourth pair of Solovairs that I have bought and it certainly won't be my last Thank you!
Great customer support
Great experience with Solovair's customer support representative Viv. I had an issue with my shoe and she helped me investigate and ended up offering a replacement. Very responsive and super fast shipping.
Customer Service is unmatched by any other company!
Solovair continues to impress me. I own 5 pairs of the boots and for years have never had an issue. I was hesitant to reach out, but Karen went above and beyond to help me :) Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Brilliant experience
I had been interested in boots by NPS Solovair since my brother bought a pair and eventually bought Burgundy Rub-Off 6 Eye Steel Toe Capped Derby Boot.
I wore them for the first time yesterday shopping in Glasgow and they were extremely comfortable, no rubbing, no breaking in, just very comfortable. They are incredibly stylish, fantastic quality and I love them. I stupidly bought the wrong length of laces for my boots and when I contacted the company they sent a free replacement pair straight out to me, brilliant customer service
Fantastic customer service
I ordered a size too small, but the boot was very well made. Customer service was fantastic, I I would definitely buy from here again.
Incredible quality and service!
If you’re looking for a quality pair of Loafers or any type of boot for that matter, then look no further, Solovair’s selection and quality is second to none and the hassle free returns or exchanges service is incredible. I originally ordered an 8 which I thought was too small, then exchanged for an 8.5 which turned out to be too big, then re-exchanged back to my 8’s after some insightful info from Viv and the team! They were so quick to turn around the shoes during the whole fiasco and were extremely responsive in message as well.
As for the shoes, they are beautiful and incredibly well made, I can’t want to break them in and enjoy them. If you have any queries for the team don’t hesitate to ask as they were amazing throughout the entire order process.
Would highly recommend and will definitely be getting another pair from here in the future!
I purchased a pair of platforms from…
I purchased a pair of platforms from solovair and to say I am disappointed is an understatement. After less then two months of wear, the sole of the platform is starting to fall off and the main part of the sole is detaching from the supports of the shoe.
This is the second time I had issues with solovair, my first pair had sole issues in which they promptly worked with me to fix however this time they haven't gotten back to me. I have already emailed them twice with no response. 200€+ shoes should not be falling apart in less then two months of wear. I had been waiting for these shoes to drop for almost a full year and to see them just fall apart is just disappointing.

Great boots, Great company!
Not only are they great boots because they are high quality and look awesome, but customer support went out of their way to help me with an issue and make sure I got the exact fit I needed. Many other companies would have ignored my problem but they actually took the time to help me, and I am now so happy with this pair! Thank you again
Great shoes, fantastic customer service
Bought a pair of the Brown Greasy Gibsons. Delivered on time, great fit and didn't really need much wearing in time - just wore them around the house for a day or two. I did have a slight problem when the leather got wet, but when the customer service team saw the photos they agreed it was a fault with that particular piece of leather and dispatched a new replacement pair without any questions. Great shoes and the best customer service I've had in a long time! Pleased to say the new pair are holding up just fine and it definitely won't be my last order.
A high-quality product (Black Greasy 8…
A high-quality product (Black Greasy 8 Eye Derby), especially when compared to similar offerings from other brands. What really stands out though is the customer service. They really care. I highly recommend it.
Great service, great shoes
Amazing customer service and very fast shipping to USA. I had a problem with a shoe and the customer service team was amazing and responsive. I am very happy with the company and the shoes are great quality at a solid price. Definitley will be puchasing more in the future.
Had a problem, all sorted. Great customer service.
I received the wrong shoes in my order, Solovair responded promptly to my message and more than made good on the order.
These are great shoes, and customer service is outstanding.
Excellent Customer Service from ViV
Excellent Customer Service from ViV. I had to contact Solvair regarding an issue with my boots. I'd gotten them out for Autumn and although I had bought them last year, there was a small issue with them. I contacted customer services and I can only say the best experience I've had with a customer service person. Efficient, quick and friendly. Viv deserves a bonus, she's a credit to Solovair.
Amazing customer service
Very fast and efficient customer service. I emailed and they responded immediatley, and helped me with my order. I am very impressed.
These are incredibly well made boots
These are incredibly well made boots. Top quality made the old fashioned way. Shipping to the United States was quite quick- within a week of ordering. I accidentally ordered a size too large and arranging an exchange was quite simple. The response from a representative was very fast. I had a minor issue with the return carrier not servicing my area and the company was quick to arrange a different courier to facilitate my return/exchange. Absolutely everything about my experience was 100% positive!
Great customer service
So I ordered a pair of boots on the reduced outlet section. There seemed to be a delay with the order it was outside the timescales, so I email them and a lovely customer service advisor got back to me right away. There had been an issue with the site and the boots were no longer available and she asked if I wanted to switch out for a different pair or a refund. I went with refund as there were no more in my size that I wanted. The customer service advisor was great she apologised for the disappointment and she even gave me a good discount code for if I choose a different pair later and it has no expiry date. I wasn’t expecting it I was just happy to have my refund sorted so quickly. Great example of how even when things don’t go to plan, good customer service makes a big impact (I have now picked a different pair in my size and am happily awaiting my order) thank you Viv in the customer service team you are a star.
Brilliant service and product - recommended!
Great service - very well packaged, very quick delivery, great communication, easy ordering, and a superb pair of shoes. Quality of material and construction is excellent! Just wish more companies could match this level of service. Recommended
Review of Solovair Boots – Extremely Poor Service
I purchased a pair of Solovair boots after hearing so much about their quality, but my experience has been very disappointing. After fewer than 10 wears, the elastic had already stretched and become misshapen, making the boots look shabby and unpresentable.
When I raised this with Solovair, customer service responded once, saying the issue was not a fault but just “wear,” and offered me a 25% discount on buying a new pair, which to me felt like being asked to spend more money to fix their quality problem. I politely asked for clarification and what options were available for compensation, including whether I could return the boots. Since then, I have sent multiple follow-up emails and received no response whatsoever.
It is extremely disappointing that a brand that trades so heavily on heritage and craftsmanship treats its customers this way. The boots have not lived up to their reputation, and the aftercare has been dismissive and unprofessional. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Solovair.
