Samelin Aviator Boots
The Samelin Aviator Boots collection brings together two unisex leather boot models — the Aviator 517 ankle boot and the Aviator 516 high boot — designed for everyday use across changing weather and environments. Built from water-repellent leather and manufactured in Estonia, these boots reflect Samelin’s long-standing expertise in durable, military-grade footwear.
Available in black, brown, and red, the Aviator collection balances practicality with a timeless silhouette. These are no-nonsense boots made to be worn daily — in the city, in nature, and in all seasons where reliable footwear matters.
Designed for Everyday Use, Anywhere
Aviator boots are built for versatility. Both the 517 and 516 models are made from water-repellent genuine leather and feature direct-injected PU soles for cushioning, grip, and insulation from cold ground. The construction makes them suitable for long days on foot, whether navigating urban streets or spending time outdoors.
With no additional lining beyond natural leather, the boots remain breathable and adaptable. In colder temperatures, wearing thicker socks is recommended — allowing the boots to be used comfortably across a wide range of conditions without sacrificing flexibility or comfort.
Aviator 517 — Ankle Boot
The Aviator 517 is a low-cut, unisex ankle boot designed for all-round daily wear. Its compact silhouette makes it easy to pair with everyday clothing while still offering the durability expected from professional footwear.
Aviator 516 — High Boot
The Aviator 516 is the taller version of the Aviator design, offering added ankle coverage and support. It shares the same materials and construction as the 517 but provides a more traditional boot profile suited for colder weather and extended outdoor use.
European Manufacturing & Military Heritage
Aviator boots are manufactured in Estonia by the same factory responsible for producing the legendary M77 Norwegian Combat Boots. The manufacturer has decades of experience producing professional footwear and has worked with internationally recognised brands such as Dr. Martens and Rossignol.
All Samelin Aviator boots are produced under NATO AQAP 2110 and ISO 9001 standards, ensuring consistent materials, controlled production processes, and long-term durability.
Made in Europe
The entire Aviator collection is made in Europe, with production rooted in Estonia’s long tradition of functional footwear manufacturing. This approach supports skilled craftsmanship, dependable quality, and boots designed to be worn — not replaced — over time.
