The Solatio brand was supplied out of Shoreditch by a jewish wholesaler named Sonny Sobers.
The name Solatio means Sunny in Italian.
In early seventies Italian imported shoes were a new thing and everybody wanted Italian names on shoes.
It is quite probable the he copied the Nobles shoe for the Solatio range and got it made in Sargents in Northants UK.

DeleteI believe Solatio will reissue these sometime in early 2015 - possibly in March. Keep an eye out for them around then.
