791s, also known as Tarkovsky boots, is probably our most unique pair of boots. The upper of the Tarkovsky boots is made of genuine water-repellent leather and the high-quality sole is molded directly to the upper. As Tarkovsky boots have no lining besides genuine leather, we recommend wearing warmer socks in freezing weather. Tarkovsky’s got their name from film director Andrei Tarkovsky, whose movie Stalker is one of our favorite movies of all time. Tarkovsky’s are manufactured in Europe according to NATO AQAP 2110 standard by the same factory making one of the most legendary military boots, M77s. So you can be assured they have military-grade quality and robustness.

We recommend choosing one size down, e.g., if you wear your Nike’s size 41, our boots at size 40 will be excellent.
