Someone said you can't survive winter temperatures with a regular lace-up boot. Well, how about making the boot big enough to accommodate all kinds of warm stuff inside? Despite the bulky looks, the boot is comfortable, at least with the right sock choices. 2nd quality class, these have some surface imperfections. Boo-hoo.
Definitely made for field use: utilitarian looks, thick leather, no membranes whatsoever so you can grease the leather and keep it in good shape, speed lacing, and proper tread pattern. The boot also features an internal toe reinforcement, which also helps to keep the ski bindings firmly in place - yes, these are meant to be skiing compatible.
For some reason the Swedish army contracted the manufacturing to the Finnish company Sievi.
In reality this means the punctual quality control of peacetime. These have some surface imperfections on the leather, mainly something that could be described as scratches and dings. Nothing major, won't affect the use one bit. Normally these would go for like 150 EUR, so it's a good deal.
Your foot length in millimeters (Mondopoint). First of all, these are quite wide, so we are confident you don't have to concern yourself about that when choosing the size. Just look at the millimeter size; this is the suitable foot length.
When you pick the correct size, you'll get 15 mm clearance for the toes. I.e. if your foot is 270 mm long, pick size 270.
Finding your foot length is very simple, draw your foot on paper and measure the length from the heel to the big toe. If you have to round, round up (result 267 mm, for example,1 = pick 270 mm).
If you are shocked and confused, we have given approximate UK / US size also.
Factory new, made by Sievi in Finland.
