Hello Gents!

Can Anyone compare the

Solovair Oxblood 8 Eye Derby Boot With Loake Niro Burgundy Polished ?​

In terms of comfort and durability

What do you wear with them to rebel the suits with attitude ?

I am looking to combine a smart casual army inspired outfit
Slimfit italian shirt with tie or eg purple wool sweather/turtleneck
M65 jacket with my UN/Nato patches earned 25 years ago…
Smart casual pants
Boots with attitude

Regards !
Nman

I think this was a new style for Loake so probably not much information about durability. Solovair are generally felt to last longer than Docs which are the other obvious choice.
