This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageThe Hawk Pilot boots or Pilots are military-grade pilot boots that not only look durable but are. Pilots are full leather boots developed based on one of the most legendary military boots ever, M77, aka Norweigan combat boots. Pilots have the quality and durability of M77s. Still, they also have a lace lock system developed according to the pilot’s needs that allows for tying boots faster and hiding laces after tying. In addition to the lacing system, there is a waterproof lock on the inner side of the shoes. Pilots are made of the strongest 2,2-2,4 mm water-repellent full-grain leather, and Cambrelle textile lining under the vamp keeps the boots comfortable and dry. And yes, your feet will also be warm in a typical winter. The removable anatomical insole is antibacterial, breathable, and washable. Multiple NATO armies use Hawk Pilot boots, so we are sure they do okay for your everyday needs. Pilots are manufactured in Estonia according to NATO AQAP 2110 quality standards.

This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageIf you plan to wear our most popular boots and of the best-known military boots in the world, M77’s, in the freezing winters, we recommend our inner socks that are made precisely for M77. Multiple NATO armies use them in the winter to keep their feet warm, and so should you. And they do fit only with M77s. So if you own a pair of Timberlands and your feet are cold, please don’t try these socks – they won’t fit anyway.
The socks are made of 100% polyester PELLAGO material. The fabric is strong and durable, protects against moisture, repels dirt and retains heat.
Sizes. Choose the same size as your M77s.

This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageM77 aka Norwegian combat boots, are one of the best-known military boots in the world and are also our top 1 bestseller. They are so legendary that they are even mentioned on the Wiki page of Combat boots. So it is probably not a big surprise that the Norwegian media recently went through the story of a former soldier who tattooed the M77 boots on his hand. Also, here is tech speaker and creator Morten Rand-Hendriksen reviewing M77 boots on TikTok, attracting more than 400k views. He even calls them ‘the best pair of boots you’ll ever buy.’
The first version of the M77s was delivered more than 50 years ago to the Norwegian military and several NATO armies also trust the M77 today, including the Norwegian. It took ten years to develop the M77 boot, as the Norwegian army had harsh requirements for boot resistance, comfort, gravity and moisture resistance. In addition, it was essential that, at the same time, boots are easy to maintain. The result is no-nonsense comfortable, breathable and water-repellent boots made only of thick 2.8-3 mm full-grain leather, steel and polyurethane. The anatomical insole is shockproof, antibacterial, breathable and washable.
And most importantly, they are durable. Just keep the boots well-greased. As with full leather boots, it may take some time to wear them in, but if they are already worn in, they are as good as it gets. These boots are unisex and designed for both men and women. The sizes run large, intended to be worn with thermal or even double socks. Also, if you plan to wear them in freezing winters, we recommend our inner socks that are made precisely for M77. In conclusion, they are probably one of the best value-for-money boots in the world, but we understand they are not for everyone. So if you care about the brand, here are links to the online stores of Dr. Martens and Timberland.

After 4 years of wearing them, one sole needed replacing, but otherwise, very good boots. New sole and another 4 years to go!
