553P Black Hiking Boots are probably the best hiking boots you can find for that money. The 553Ps are manufactured in Europe and are designed for hiking in the Nordic climate but are suitable for anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle, no matter the weather. They are made of waterproof genuine nubuck leather and the inner lining is a 4-layer sock-style TOPAZ membrane which ensures water resistance and breathability. The toe cap provides extra protection and enhances the durability of the shoes. The boots have a 2-layer Vibram sole for moving on soft and hard soil. If you are unfamiliar with Vibram, it is the Porsche or Ferrari, whichever you prefer, in the world of hiking footwear. The insole of the boots is anatomical, antibacterial and washable. 553P Hiking Boots are manufactured in Europe by the same factory making one of the most legendary military boots, Norwegian M77s. The same factory, Samelin, has been making hiking boots for more than 20 years, and for many, they are above all known as the manufacturer of high-quality hiking boots.

The sizes run large. We recommend choosing one size down, e.g., if you wear your Nike’s or Dr. Martens’s size 41, our boots at size 40 will be excellent.

If you plan to wear our most popular boots—Norwegian M77 combat boots—during freezing winters, we recommend these inner socks made specifically for the M77. They're used by several NATO armies to keep feet warm in cold conditions, and they’ll do the same for you. Just note: they only fit M77s. So if you’re wearing Timberlands and your feet are cold, don’t bother—these won’t fit.

Made from 100% polyester PELLAGO material, the socks are durable, moisture-resistant, dirt-repellent, and excellent at retaining heat.

Sizes: Choose the same size as your M77 boots.
