I’m currently looking for new (or 2nd hand) boots to get and was wondering whether anyone here had experience with Solovair in particular or could recommend other ones available in the EU.

    They don’t seem to be fem imo, but whatever. Don’t forget to go with steel toe. Also they quadrupled on price over 20 years.

      I would recommend avoiding steel toe unless you specifically need that protection. Steel toe boots are generally less comfortable than non-steel toe, especially for things like hiking.

        Their heritage line are descended from classic men’s work boots, intended for iron workers, miners, that sort of thing. You know what you like, but they’re stereotypically masculine workwear style boots.

        Unfortunately, quality boots that last a long time tend to be handmade and therefore quite expensive. The bummer is that some brands have gotten really good at making boots that look high end but aren’t.

        The YouTube channel Rose Anvil cuts boots apart to look at build quality and construction. They do some solovair boots. If that’s something you are interested in I highly recommend you check it out.
