Samelin, AIPI & KIRA Boots
This collection brings together handcrafted boots from Samelin, AIPI, and KIRA — three Estonian makers united by a shared focus on durability, thoughtful design, and long-term wear.
Produced in Estonia using small-batch methods, these boots range from military-grade classics to modern, sustainability-driven designs. What connects them is a commitment to quality materials, functional construction, and footwear built to be worn — not replaced.
Boots made in Estonia
- Made in Europe using traditional and modern shoemaking techniques
- Stitched or direct-injected soles designed for durability and repairability
- Natural leather uppers selected for strength, comfort, and aging over time
- Field-tested heritage spanning military, workwear, and everyday use
- Small-batch production focused on longevity rather than fast fashion
AIPI handmade boots
AIPI boots are made to order in a small workshop in Tallinn. Built from thick natural leather with stitched soles, each pair follows traditional construction methods developed for military and work footwear.
AIPI has supplied boots to the Estonian Defence Forces and Finland’s Varusteleka, earning a reputation for footwear designed to handle demanding, long-term use — from outdoor work to daily urban wear.
Samelin handmade boots
Samelin has been manufacturing boots in Estonia for more than 75 years and is best known for the iconic M77 Norwegian Combat Boots. Originally developed for military use, Samelin boots continue to serve NATO forces while also being adapted for civilian life.
Production follows NATO AQAP 2110 and ISO 9001 standards, ensuring consistent materials, controlled manufacturing, and footwear built for reliability in harsh conditions.
KIRA sustainable boots
KIRA represents a more contemporary side of Estonian footwear — combining clean design with a sustainability-first mindset. KIRA boots are produced in small batches using responsibly sourced materials and energy-conscious manufacturing processes.
Designed for everyday city life, KIRA focuses on comfort, lightweight construction, and reduced environmental impact without compromising durability. These boots are suited for year-round urban wear, offering a quieter alternative to traditional military-inspired footwear.
Designed for long-term use
Whether you choose the rugged heritage of Samelin, the uncompromising construction of AIPI, or the sustainable, modern approach of KIRA, every boot in this collection is made with longevity in mind.
These are not trend-driven products. They are functional, repairable, and built to age alongside you — a considered alternative to disposable footwear.
