Our Goodyear welted footwear is a little larger than most other brands. We would therefore recommend you either purchase a pair of our cushioned socks with our footwear in your regular size, as they offer about 1/2 a size extra fitting, or you go 1/2 a size smaller than you typically wear.

Gripfast Originals Collection
Due to the nature of Greasy leather a layer of Dubbin may be required to achieve the pictured look.
Applying a suede protectant before wearing your footwear for the first time will help guard the surface. A suede brush can be used to remove dust and restore the nap after each use. Suede and Nubuck finishes should be kept away from large amounts of water due to its porous quality.
FREE shipping on all footwear orders, with a 30 day return and exchange policy.
In the unfortunate event that you need to return your order, head over to our Returns Center. Simply enter your order number, email address and select the items that you wish to return. You will then have the option of a refund or exchange to another size or style.
All import duties/taxes are included in the prices shown.
Greasy leather needs to be fed with Dubbin wax, oil or grease for nourishment. Apply sparingly to avoid creating a dull appearance.

"Great. Super comfy with the insoles. Much lighter weight than I expected. Leather quality is extremely good, these are probably the nicest quality shoes I’ve ever owned. I got the steel toes because I liked the cap and haven’t really noticed the steel toes at all. I go between a US 11-11.5 in some cases and the 11s fit perfectly."
"Really like the shoes..They are extremely comfortable, I have popped some insoles inside for extra comfort ,the leather is soft (I have applied some dubbing), they are kinda heavy,. with having the steel toe cap. The soles are pretty bouncy,. love the look,. think they're really cool.."
"I was looking for a good looking, steel-toe, low-top shoes for shows (tired of getting my feet stomped on) and wearing around. These fit the bill perfectly. A nice, aggressive sole adds comfort and grip for all weather. I was a little worried about the size. I used the directions on the website and came up with a half-size smaller than I usually wear, but it turned out the directions were perfect. The shoe runs slightly larger than most other makes and the toe-box is generous enough that I did not have to worry about it being too narrow. Shipping was surprisingly fast for coming overseas. I like that the price includes everything, even a return shipping bag just in case the size wasn't right. They are sharp, comfortable, and I'm expecting years of use."
"Quality as expected and extremely fast delivery."
"They look really good, I was able to size down so they definitely run large. There was some loose lining by the toe"
"The ultimate Gibson shoe!"
"The shoe’s look good and fit to size and are have a light feeling to them."
"One of the best-looking pairs of shoes I’ve ever owned! Shipping overseas was surprisingly fast, and Solovair covered all taxes and duties, which was great. The leather is very stiff at first and the break-in can be tough, but it’s absolutely worth it. Other reviews mentioned that these run large, but on my feet they feel true to size. The fit is actually quite snug until the leather loosens up."
"In the age of cheap disposable s@it it’s a privilege to be able to purchase shoes of this quality. I would buy more but they last forever 😎"
"Excellent British craftsmanship!"
