Samelin 598 Davos Desert Boots – Designed for the Desert, Perfected for Everyday Life
Originally engineered for NATO troops operating in desert conditions, the Samelin 598 Davos Desert Boots combine battle-proven durability with timeless European craftsmanship. Crafted from water-repellent genuine leather and durable waterproof textile, they're built to perform in extreme heat and rugged terrain — yet refined enough for everyday city wear.
Built to Last – Military-Grade Craftsmanship
Each pair of 598 Davos boots is handmade in Estonia, Europe, at Samelin's NATO-certified factory — the same facility that produces the legendary M77 Norwegian Combat Boots. Every detail, from the precision stitching to the moulded sole, meets NATO AQAP 2110 and ISO 9001 standards for military-grade reliability.
All-Terrain Performance
The high-quality Davos sole, moulded directly to the upper, provides grip, flexibility and shock absorption across all surfaces — from loose sand to hard pavement. The lightweight construction makes long treks or city walks effortless, while the anatomical, antibacterial insole ensures day-long freshness and support.
NATO-Level Quality You Can Trust
The 598 Davos boots share their DNA with the footwear worn by NATO personnel from Germany, Norway, Finland, Latvia and Estonia. Samelin's collaborations with iconic brands like Dr. Martens and Rossignol reflect the same balance of form, function and durability that defines this model — authentic military engineering reimagined for modern wear.

Boot Care Guide
How to care for waterproof nubuck boots with membrane lining?
Proper care extends the lifespan and keeps your boots looking good. Avoid wearing the same pair of boots on consecutive days. Always dry and clean them thoroughly before wearing them again. When putting on the boots, fasten all closures (buckles, laces, Velcro, etc.) properly.
After purchase and before first use, perform basic care using products meant for nubuck leather. Depending on the weather, apply water-repellent sprays as well. Nubuck care products are available at well-stocked shoe stores.
Store boots in a dry, well-ventilated place. Do not dry them near heat sources.
Clean your boots daily from dust and mud, and brush the sole edges and tread. Never wash boots in a washing machine or with lots of water. Use nubuck-specific products (ask at shoe stores) or a damp cloth. Use shoe deodorant if needed.
Avoid getting sharp objects inside the boots – they can damage the membrane lining.
How to care for leather boots?
Proper care extends lifespan and maintains appearance. Avoid wearing the same pair of boots for multiple days in a row. After use, always dry and clean them. When putting them on, first undo all closures (buckles, laces, Velcro, etc.), put your foot in, and then fasten properly.
After purchase and before first use, treat them with full-grain leather care products. Depending on the weather, use water-repellent products as well. These can be found at better shoe stores.
The leather pull loop at the back of the high and low Aviator boots is decorative and not meant for pulling on the boots. A broken pull loop is not covered under warranty. If it does break, we can repair it as a paid service.
Store the boots in a dry, well-ventilated space. Never dry near a heater.
Clean daily from dust and mud, brush the sole edges and tread. Never machine wash or soak in water. Use proper leather care products (ask at shoe stores) or wipe with a damp cloth. Use shoe deodorant if needed.
How to care for insoles?
After long wear, remove insoles and let them air out in a well-ventilated place.
You can wash the insoles by hand or in a washing machine on a gentle cycle at up to 30°C. Do not spin-dry, and avoid using strong detergents.
Dry at room temperature. Avoid sudden temperature changes as they can damage the insole materials.
