Military heritage and standards
Samelin boots are produced under NATO AQAP 2110 and ISO 9001 quality standards. The iconic M77 Norwegian Combat Boot remains in active service, while civilian models such as the Aviator and Hawk Pilot bring the same construction principles into everyday life.
Built for long-term use
Designed as functional tools rather than seasonal fashion items, Samelin boots are made to perform in demanding conditions and to last for years with proper care. Boots like the M77 are designed for long-term use. Learn more in our M77 Boots Guide.
Functional, durable, and made in Europe
