Sole Brothers

The Padror by Kleman & The Gibson Derby from Solovair. Flagship models from two iconic shoe companies still hand crafted in their hometown villages today. The English made Gibson Derby began its journey when Solovair, 'Soles-of-Air', created shoes for the Good Doctor, 'Dr Martens', and to this day are still produced in the same Northhampshire factory. The French made Padror has it's beginnings firmly tied to the SNCF. Through the 1980's the Padror's durability and comfort found strong favour with rail service attendants. Its tyrolene soles the perfect antidote for long shifts spent on cold hard railway platforms. Like Solovair, Kleman remains family run in its original village.
