"You should get a size smaller, otherwise they’ll be loose. Initially, you may need to grease them well with seal oil or wax. Once they’re broken in, they’re super comfortable."

"Fit well on my slightly wider than average feet. These are my first Samelin shoes and I am very satisfied. Thank you."

"When the boots arrived, they were in such a plain box that it was a bit alarming, but now that I’ve broken them in, I can confidently say they are indeed very sturdy and robust. I would definitely recommend them."

"Comfortable hiking boots, even after a long day and many miles walked. The only downside is that they could be a bit lighter. But overall, really good boots!"

"The boots look just as beautiful as they do in the picture. They served me well on a long trip to Portugal where there was a lot of uphill and downhill walking. They’ve also surprisingly been effective helpers on the snowy and icy streets of Tallinn. As is the case with thick leather boots, they initially need to be worn in with double socks. I usually wear size 38, but this model’s 38 is slightly larger than usual. A 37.5 would have been ideal for me."

"Years in mud, swamps, forests, snow, through fresh and salt water, smeared, polished with a rag and moving forward with a straight back"

"It takes some time to break them in, but once they’re broken in (I learned this the hard way), they’ll last for years in almost any condition."

"Very comfortable boot , sturdy make, soft sole .
Would absolutely recommend."
