i would loooove to get a pair of solovairs, but i can’t get over the slight silhouette change where the “ceiling” part of the boot (i know nothing about shoe anatomy terms) has a slight bend inwards as it reaches down and connects with the “floor” :(

You mean where the sole is stitched to the leather?

[–] boneheed@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, the iconic yellow stitching on Docs is likely trademarked, Solovairs are grey stitching.

I'm not sure what bit you mean, I have the classic 9 hole boots and the shape is the same from my perspective?

There are differences as i went Matte finish for the Solovairs and obviously the stiching is a different colour (smooth sided sole too) but i'm more concerned about the quality/fit/longevity of my boots than the Docs aethetic anyway.
