Hawk Pilot boots (aka Pilots) are military-grade leather boots developed from the legendary M77 Norwegian combat boots. Built for pilots, these boots combine the rugged durability of M77s with functional upgrades like a lace-lock system for quick tying and secure lace storage, plus a waterproof inner-side zipper for easy on/off.
Made from 2.2–2.4 mm thick water-repellent full-grain leather, Pilots are lined with Cambrelle textile to keep your feet dry and comfortable. They also feature a removable anatomical insole that’s antibacterial, breathable, and washable. Warm enough for typical winters, and tough enough for NATO forces—yes, multiple NATO armies actually use them.
Manufactured in Estonia by Samelin to NATO AQAP 2110 and ISO 9001 standards.

791 aka Tarkovsky Boots – Light Brown
Light brown 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. But no lining means you will survive with them even in the summer. Tarkovsky’s got their name from film director Andrei Tarkovsky, whose movie Stalker is one of our favorite movies. 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.
