Choosing the 5531
Choose the 5531 when you want the balanced all-round model for trails, forest paths, mixed terrain, travel and longer outdoor days. Choose the lighter 550 when lower weight and flexibility are the priority, or the 553P when reinforced toe and heel protection is important for rougher, rocky terrain.

Waterproof performance
Samelin describes the 5531 as waterproof natural nubuck footwear. The four-layer TOPAZ membrane supports waterproof protection while allowing moisture vapour to move away from the foot. Keep the nubuck clean and use a suitable nubuck care product to maintain performance.
Fit & sizing
Samelin hiking boots tend to fit slightly large. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller size. Otherwise, choose your usual EU size and compare your foot measurement with the inside-length chart. Consider the thickness of your hiking socks when choosing.

Comfort & break-in
Allow a short break-in period before longer hikes. The nubuck gradually adapts to the foot while the structured construction continues to provide support.
Production standards
Manufactured by Samelin in Estonia under NATO AQAP 2110 and ISO 9001 quality standards. In 2017, Samelin was named Estonia’s Defense Industry Company of the Year.
Care
Brush away dirt after use, clean the nubuck with suitable products and let the boots dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use ordinary smooth-leather grease unless it is specifically suitable for nubuck.
