Description
Why these boots stand out
The original M77: proven military heritage and no-nonsense construction.
The first M77 boots were delivered to the Norwegian military more than 50 years ago after a ten-year development process shaped by demanding requirements for durability, comfort, weight, moisture resistance and easy maintenance. The model remains in use with the Norwegian military and other NATO forces.

Classic M77 character
The M77 Classic is the firmest and most traditional model in the range. Its thick full-grain leather and structured construction require a break-in period, then gradually soften and adapt to the wearer. Choose it for the original M77 feel; choose the M77 2.0 for a lighter, less-stiff sole or the M77 Winter for an integrated warm lining.
Construction & materials

Upper: 2.8–3 mm full-grain water-repellent leather

The directly injected outsole forms a strong bond with the upper and avoids the glued construction used in many fashion boots.
Fit & sizing
Samelin 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.

Cold-weather use
The Classic M77 does not have an integrated warm lining. Wear suitable socks in colder weather or add the removable M77 inner socks, which are compatible with both the Classic M77 and M77 2.0.
Quality standards & heritage
Samelin manufactures combat boots 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, keep the leather well greased or conditioned, and allow the boots to dry naturally between wears. Regular care helps preserve the leather’s flexibility and water-repellent properties.
