Samelin 598 Desert Boots – From the Battlefield to the City

1️⃣ A Military Classic Reinvented

Originally designed for NATO desert operations, the Samelin 598 Desert Boots combine tactical durability with urban simplicity.
Built for endurance, they’ve now found their way into everyday wardrobes — trusted by those who demand performance and authenticity.


2️⃣ Engineered for Harsh Environments

These boots feature water-repellent nubuck leather and textile, offering the ideal balance between protection and ventilation.
Whether you’re trekking across sandy trails or walking city streets in the rain, the 598s are built to keep your feet dry and comfortable.


3️⃣ Comfort Meets Longevity

The direct-injected PU sole provides excellent traction while reducing weight and improving flexibility.
Combined with an anatomical, antibacterial insole, you get a boot that feels good for hours — not just minutes.


4️⃣ Made by the Masters of Military Footwear

Produced by Samelin in Estonia, these boots are built by the same craftsmen who supply NATO armies and collaborate with Dr. Martens and Rossignol.
Every pair meets the rigorous NATO AQAP 2110 and ISO 9001 quality standards — meaning you’re wearing boots that pass military-grade requirements.
