Solovair was the company that used to make the old school Martens that everyone loved, but when they lost the contract with Martens they decided to make the same boots but under their own name.
So the solovairs are much better as they are basically the same as the old docs in build quality (some people think old docs are still better than new solovairs as the leather is thicker I think, but to find a pair of old Martens without much wear can be a bit pricey).
Also when buying new boots like these prepare to have to wear them in, took my solovairs about 6 months to become really comfortable. And if possible avoid zippers, if you want a boot that can come off easily go for a Chelsea style with elastic sides, they last a lot longer.
