While Solovair shoes might not be as popular as Dr. Martens, Solovair produced the latter brand’s boots under license until the 1980s. But then Dr. Martens began to move its factories abroad, leading to a precipitous drop in the shoes’ quality. Nevertheless, Solovair soldiered on, continuing to produce Goodyear-welted shoes in its Northamptonshire factory.

It’s no wonder, then, that Redditors recommend Solovair shoes as a more durable alternative to Dr. Martens. But some commenters say the British shoemaker doesn’t live up to its reputation. One Solovair owner complained that their boots started delaminating after just five days, adding that “they can’t even handle daily wear.” Besides durability, Redditors complained about the shoe’s comfortability and the company’s poor customer service.
