Description
Samelin 791 Tarkovsky Black Leather Boots
The Samelin 791 Tarkovsky Boots are unlined leather boots designed for everyday wear across seasons. Their construction emphasizes simplicity, breathability, and long-term durability rather than insulation or padding.
Use
Designed for daily wear in urban and mixed environments. The unlined leather construction allows for adaptability across warmer months and cooler conditions when worn with thicker socks.
Materials & Construction
The upper is made from water-repellent full-grain leather selected for durability and natural structure. Without an internal lining, the leather can adapt more directly to the foot over time.
- Water-repellent full-grain leather upper
- Unlined interior for breathability and adaptability
- Direct-injected polyurethane outsole for flexibility and durability
Origin & Craftsmanship
Manufactured in Estonia, the 791 Tarkovsky reflects a functional approach to footwear design focused on material integrity and long service life. The model name references a minimalist aesthetic rather than a decorative or trend-led influence.
Background
The Tarkovsky model takes its name from filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, whose work is known for restraint, atmosphere, and a focus on human presence within harsh or minimal environments.
The reference is most closely associated with the visual language of Stalker — utilitarian spaces, worn materials, and objects shaped by use rather than design intent. The boot reflects this approach through an unlined construction, minimal detailing, and materials chosen for durability and long-term wear.
Rather than functioning as a tribute or themed product, the Tarkovsky name serves as a conceptual reference: quiet functionality, reduced form, and tools built to endure time, weather, and repeated use.
About Samelin
Samelin is an Estonian footwear manufacturer producing boots in Europe with a focus on durability, consistency, and long service life. Their production supports both professional and civilian use, prioritizing functional construction over seasonal design changes.
Samelin operates under established quality systems, including NATO AQAP 2110 and ISO 9001, to support repeatable standards in materials, assembly, and finishing.
Made in Europe
These boots are made in Europe using established manufacturing processes. European production supports consistent quality, repairability, and long-term use.
Care & Longevity
Allow the boots to dry fully between wears. Occasional leather conditioning helps maintain flexibility and surface protection. Unlined leather footwear benefits from regular care to extend usable life.
Fit Guidance
Samelin boots run slightly large. For most customers, we recommend ordering one size down from your usual sneaker size.
For example, if you normally wear a Nike size 41, we recommend choosing size 40.
