Water-repellent leather upper, direct-injected PU sole, fully leather-lined interior, and an anatomical washable insole — built to the same NATO AQAP 2110 and ISO 9001 quality standards as Samelin's military-issue footwear, but in a cleaner, lower-profile silhouette that works equally well on a city street or a forest trail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"60:1-60:95;2741-2835\"\u003eHandcrafted in Estonia.
