Product description

In the modern world of membranes and the usual cushioned-for-her-pleasure type approach, the Norwegian M77 combat boots are a refreshing relic from the old days. Stayed virtually unchanged from the year they were adopted, 1977, they still are the standard-issue footwear in the Norwegian army. This shell-style construction also makes them pretty modular, as you have total control over sock choices.

Nothing but leather, polyurethane, and steel here. Being a very traditional design, the M77 may lack a waterproof membrane (which would fail at some point anyway) but makes it up in long term durability. Just keep the boots well greased and change socks if they get wet and you're pretty much good to go. Or if you need proper waterproofing, get a pair of SealSkinz waterproof socks.

Features

  • Shell-like construction
  • Sturdy as hell
  • Old-school full leather combat boot

These boots have front lugs and a rear groove for use with ski and snowshoe bindings. Compatible bindings include army models as made by Asnes and Rottefella, to name a couple.

Don't wear them with just a regular tennis sock, double socking (or triple) is the way to go here. Jalas FX 2 insoles work perfectly inside these (take the same size as the shoe), although the factory insoles are decent enough.

The price comes not from sexy brand names or other nonsense, but of the quality of the materials and workmanship: the leather is properly thick with no PU coatings whatsoever and the sole is one block of high-quality rubber molded directly to the upper. All the lace hooks & loops are likewise made of quality metal. As the PU sole has no air pockets inside it, it's possible to glue on more stuff if it eventually gets thin, however, it is pretty thick to start with.

Made in EU (Estonia)

Yes, the Norwegian army gets its footwear made there. Hey, why not, the manufacturer knows its stuff and Estonia is also a NATO country. These have the Norwegian shield logo on the sole, denoting they fill the army quality standards.

These are really nice boots and absolutely worth the price. I did have to size up from a 39 to a 40 because I have wide feet but the size 40 is very comfortable.

Outstanding quality, super solid boots, robust and decidedly comfortable. The shipping and assistance service from the Varusteleka guys was exceptional: normally I wear 42 or 41.5 and I returned the first pair purchased (41 size) because they were too big. Then I bought a 40 size and that's about right now, normal socks to thick ones. The toe is padded with iron, the quality of the leather is excellent, inside the upper sole-tongue there is a cushion in acrylic material which prevents the perspiration of humidity but which does not seem very hot on the instep during the summer. inside the sole there is already a neutral total black footbed, and it is very comfortable. So, probably the best boots ever.

bought a pair with the anxiety if it will fit or not. The size advice is to use you same size as sneakers. if you wish to put a second layer of sock in the winter time it will fit too. i wear nike uk 13 bought a size 48 as mentioned here and its fine. This is a Light weight boot.
