The Astronaut Boot got its name after the first group of American astronauts (aka the Mercury Seven) were photographed wearing the style in 1961. The Astronaut Boot exploded in popularity during the Sixties, and today is still considered a timeless design. This version from Solovair features six eyelets rather than the original eleven, giving them a more versatile everyday look. As with all Solovair shoes, it’s handmade start to finish in England and Goodyear welted, so you can be sure the quality is top notch.

You may not have heard of Solovair, but you’ve definitely seen them, and maybe even worn them! From 1960 to 1995, Solovair manufactured Dr. Martens under the title “Dr. Martens by Solovair” (sole-of-air, get it?). Today, Solovair produces high quality shoes and boots using the same lasts and machinery that were used to make the original Docs in 1960. Every pair is still made in the original factory in England, and we think that dollar-for-dollar they might be the best value on the market.
