Customer Reviews
I've owned lots of pairs of Dr Martens and some vegan Solovairs over the years, but these boots beat them.
They're really light, yet super sturdy. They're soft, yet firm under foot. They look absolutely fantastic.
Goodyear Welt Rig Boots
I am a massive fan of WVS particularly their low and high rig boots and have about five pairs in various colours & sizes so when WVS stopped doing my favourite high rise chestnut boots I was looking for an alternative. I saw these, much more expensive but with Goodyear welt soles. First the sizing is off, all of my WVS footwear is sized 8UK/42, these are massive by comparison and so you have to tighten the laces up really tight. They unfortunately quickly frayed and eventually snapped. I replaced them with Redwing ones (the boots are very similar). Not an issue, very strong. WVS even refunded me the costs, which was a nice gesture. However the shoes squeak, they make a hell of a racket however much you loosen the laces or tighten them up, it drives me a bit crazy, not something I had with any of the other WVS boots. Am holding out for a size 7 when they may be back in stock as these rub my feet and make that irritating squeaking noise. Ultimately pretty disappointed as they look great.
The boots are nice but squeaky I thought it would stop but it hasn’t 😐
These boots are fantastic. Stylish, comfortable, and no dead animals.
They are also really light, probably half the weight of a leather Moc Toe boot, also they are about half the price. They look great with jeans or combats. The laces they come with are good as well.
