Why these boots stand out
Waterproof hiking performance with reinforced toe and heel protection.
The Samelin 553P in Burgundy shares the balanced construction of the 5531 and adds protective reinforcement at both the toe and heel. It is intended for rougher and rockier terrain where additional protection is useful.
- Waterproof natural nubuck upper
- Reinforced rubber toe and heel protection
- Four-layer TOPAZ waterproof membrane
- Dual-layer Vibram outsole
- Anatomical, antibacterial and washable insole
- Approximate weight: 1.5 kg
- Made in Estonia, Europe
Choosing the 553P
Choose the 553P for rocky paths, rough terrain and outdoor use where the toe and heel are more likely to meet stones, roots and other obstacles. Choose the 5531 for the same core hiking construction without the added reinforcement, or the 550 for a lighter and more flexible option.

Waterproof performance
Samelin describes the 553P as waterproof natural nubuck footwear. The four-layer TOPAZ membrane supports waterproof protection while allowing moisture vapour to move away from the foot. Correct nubuck care helps 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 reinforced construction feels protective while the nubuck gradually adapts to the foot.
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 and rubber reinforcement with suitable products, and let the boots dry naturally away from direct heat.
