How should I measure my foot for these boots?

Measure your foot length in centimeters from heel to toe and compare it with the inside length shown in the size charts.

Samelin & AIPI Boots Size Guide

Brand: Samelin

Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)

Choosing the right size ensures long-term comfort and a proper fit. Both Samelin and AIPI boots are handcrafted in Estonia and designed for durability, everyday wear, and a Scandinavian foot shape with a slightly wider last than average.

Quick Fit Rule:
Both Samelin and AIPI boots tend to fit slightly large. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller size.

Example: If you usually wear EU 41 in Nike or Dr. Martens, we recommend EU 40 in Samelin or AIPI boots.

How to measure your foot

Place a sheet of paper on a flat floor against a wall.
Stand with your heel lightly touching the wall.
Mark the tip of your longest toe.
Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimeters.

Measure both feet and use the longer measurement. Compare your result with the inside length shown in the charts below.

M77 Boots

I've had my Samelin boots for over a year, and they’ve taken a serious beating—rain, mud, concrete, you name it. Still look good, still feel good.

Never heard of Samelin before, but I took a chance. Glad I did. These boots feel like something my grandfather would’ve worn.

The leather is thick, the stitching is on point, and they actually get more comfortable the more I wear them. Feels like a secret I almost don’t want to share.

I’ve hiked, worked, and even gone out in them, and they never let me down. Plus, they don’t look like some overdesigned tactical gear—just classic, solid boots.

Good, reliable boots, but they took some time to break in. I also got the size wrong at first. I usually wear a 45, but for these, a 44 fit me.
