Fit & sizing
Samelin boots tend to fit slightly large. Choose your usual EU size. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller size.
For measurements and fitting advice, see the Samelin & AIPI Boots Size Guide.
Waterproof leather & breathable lining
The upper is made from waterproof smooth chrome leather. Inside, the 739 uses a breathable textile lining rather than the four-layer PTFE lining found in some other Samelin waterproof models.
Toe protection & outsole
Thermoplastic reinforcement supports the toe and heel, while an additional TPU protector covers the toe. The dual-layer polyurethane and rubber outsole is slip- and oil-resistant. Stainless-steel hooks and eyelets allow the lacing height and fit to be adjusted.
How does the 739 compare with models 734 and 736?
The 739 combines waterproof leather, a breathable textile lining and external TPU toe protection. The Samelin 734 Waterproof Combat Boots also have an external TPU toe protector but add a waterproof and breathable four-layer PTFE lining. The Samelin 736 Waterproof Combat Boots use the same type of PTFE lining but do not have the additional external TPU toe protector.
Occupational & military use
Model 739 meets EN ISO 20347:2012 for occupational footwear and has been selected for use by the Latvian National Armed Forces. Samelin manufactures the boots in Estonia for NATO military units under the NATO AQAP 2110 quality system and also holds ISO 9001 certification.
In 2017, Samelin was named Estoniaโs Defense Industry Company of the Year.

Break-in
As with many substantial leather boots, the 739 may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase the wearing time as the leather adapts to your feet.
Care
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth and allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat. Use a care product suitable for waterproof smooth leather according to its instructions. This helps maintain the leather and its resistance to moisture.
