516 High Aviator Leather Boots

The taller Aviator: unisex lace up boots in black water repellent leather, made in Estonia by Samelin.

  • Water repellent genuine leather
  • Higher shaft than the 517
  • Removable washable insole
  • EU sizes 35 to 48
Details

The 516 is the 517 Aviator with a longer shaft, laced higher up the leg, which gives more support and keeps out snow and slush. Black leather, a rounded toe and a moulded sole.

Material

Upper in water repellent genuine leather, lined with leather only. Direct injected PU outsole. The anatomical insole is antibacterial and washable, and comes out. About 1.4 kg a pair in size 41.

Maker

Samelin is a boot factory in Estonia. It makes the M77, a combat boot first issued to the Norwegian army more than 50 years ago, and has made hiking boots for more than 20 years. Production follows the NATO AQAP 2110 quality standard and ISO 9001.

Size & Fit

EU sizes 35 to 48, unisex.

The boot has no lining besides leather, so in freezing weather wear warmer socks. A size chart in centimetres is among the photos.

Care

Brush off dirt and wipe the leather with a damp cloth.
Let wet boots dry slowly at room temperature, away from radiators and direct heat.
Keep the leather greased or waxed so it stays supple and water repellent.
Full leather boots take a little time to wear in.

Estonia

Samelin makes boots in Estonia, including the M77 issued to the Norwegian army for more than half a century. The leather is thick, the soles are moulded straight onto the upper, and the insoles come out to be washed. Boots like these take a few weeks to wear in, then they stay.
