Hawk Pilot lace-up or zipper?
Both Hawk Pilot versions use the same core materials and construction. Choose this model for a traditional lace-only design. Choose the Hawk Pilot Boots with Zipper for a waterproof inner-side zipper, fully functional laces and a lace-lock system for quick tying and secure lace storage.
Fit and sizing
Samelin boots tend to fit slightly large. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller size. Otherwise, select your usual EU size and compare your measurements with the Samelin & AIPI Boots Size Guide.
Weather and warmth
The full-grain leather is water-repellent, but the complete boot is not described as waterproof. The boot is non-insulated, so we recommend warmer socks in freezing weather.
Standards and manufacture
Made in Estonia by Samelin. Samelin combat boots are produced in accordance with NATO AQAP 2110 and ISO 9001 standards. In 2017, Samelin was named Estonia's Defense Industry Company of the Year.
Care
Clean away dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth, allow the boots to dry naturally and treat the leather regularly with a suitable leather-care product. Read our Leather and Textile Care Guide.
