Solovair – British craftsmanship since 1881
Solovair is an iconic British footwear brand with over 140 years of craftsmanship. The brand has its origins in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, the heart of the English footwear industry. Solovair was founded as the Northamptonshire Productive Society and grew to become a pioneer in high-quality boots and shoes. Known for their Goodyear welted construction, air-cushioned soles and handmade finish, Solovair shoes stand for durability, comfort and timeless style.
In the 1950s, Solovair collaborated with Dr. Martens to produce the first iconic AirWair boots. When Dr. Martens moved production to low-wage countries, Solovair remained true to its roots: Made in England, using the same machines and techniques that have been used for decades.
