Samelin Hawk Pilot Boots – The Spirit of M77, Reimagined for Today
1️⃣ The Legacy of M77, Reinvented
The Hawk Pilot Boots are direct descendants of the M77 Norwegian Combat Boot, one of the most iconic military boots ever made.
But this time, they’ve evolved — faster, stronger, and smarter — with features tailored for modern pilots and civilians alike.
2️⃣ Designed for Real Functionality
Forget decorative zippers. The Hawk Pilots feature a fully functional waterproof side zip and an innovative lace-lock system, allowing quick adjustments and tidy lacing — crucial for both cockpit efficiency and street practicality.
3️⃣ Tough Outside, Comfortable Inside
Crafted from 2.4 mm full-grain leather, these boots are built for decades, not seasons.
Inside, the Cambrelle lining and anatomical antibacterial insole keep your feet comfortable, fresh, and fatigue-free.
4️⃣ Trusted by NATO, Loved by Civilians
Handcrafted by Samelin in Estonia, the same factory that equips NATO armies, these boots combine military reliability with civilian versatility — perfect for adventure seekers, travelers, or anyone who demands more from their footwear.
