AIPI Handmade Boots
AIPI boots are handmade in Estonia using traditional bootmaking methods that have remained largely unchanged for decades. Built from thick natural leather with stitched soles, these boots are designed for long-term, everyday use rather than seasonal trends.
Each pair is made to order in a small workshop in Tallinn, allowing the focus to remain on construction quality, material consistency, and durability. AIPI boots have been worn by foresters, musicians, military personnel, and office workers alike — chosen for their reliability across environments rather than a specific lifestyle label.

A Small Workshop, Built on Experience
AIPI is a small Estonian bootmaker with decades of experience producing handcrafted footwear. The workshop has supplied boots to the Estonian Defence Forces and Finland’s largest military retailer, Varusteleka, reinforcing its reputation for practical, hard-wearing construction.
Designed for Long-Term Use
AIPI boots are intended to be worn frequently, maintained over time, and repaired when needed. Their stitched construction and thick leather make them well suited for long-term ownership, developing character with use rather than wearing out quickly.
This collection brings together all AIPI boot models in one place, allowing you to compare silhouettes, construction details, and intended use — while knowing that the underlying materials and craftsmanship remain consistent across the range.
Which AIPI boot is right for you?
- AIPI-1 – The everyday all-rounder. Best if you want one pair for daily wear, commuting, and long days on your feet.
- AIPI-2 – A classic stitched-sole boot with a traditional feel. Ideal if you prefer a timeless silhouette and heritage construction.
- AIPI 2.2 – The most rugged option. Inspired by WWII military boots, with a triple-stitched outsole for heavier use.
- AIPI PS-2 – Military-inspired but refined for everyday wear. A good choice if you want durability with a slightly cleaner profile.
All AIPI boots are handmade to order in Estonia from thick natural leather. The main difference between models lies in silhouette and outsole construction, not material quality.
