Pilots aka Hawk Pilot Boots without zipper
The 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. 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.

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.

This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page5531 Navy Hiking Boots are probably the best hiking boots you can find for that money. The 5531s are manufactured in Europe and are designed for hiking in the Nordic climate but are suitable for anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle, no matter the weather. They are made of waterproof genuine nubuck leather and the inner lining is a 4-layer sock-style TOPAZ membrane which ensures water resistance and breathability. The boots have a 2-layer Vibram sole for moving on soft and hard soil. If you are unfamiliar with Vibram, it is the Porsche or Ferrari, whichever you prefer, in the world of hiking footwear. The insole of the boots is anatomical, antibacterial and washable. 5531 Hiking Boots are manufactured in Europe according to NATO AQAP 2110 standard by the same factory making one of the most legendary military boots, M77s. The same factory, Samelin, has been making hiking boots for more than 20 years, and for many, they are above all known as the manufacturer of high-quality hiking boots.
The sizes run large. We recommend choosing one size down, e.g., if you wear your Nike’s size 41, our hiking boots in size 40 will be excellent.

Mihkel –
No-nonsense boots that last a lifetime (okay, at least a couple of years). The leather is thick, and although the soles are a bit slippery when walking on icy sidewalks in winter, they are good for everything else, including hiking.
