FAQ

How does the dark brown differ from the light brown and antique? Same shoe, different leather finish. Dark brown is a solid, deeper tone — more versatile for workwear and everyday use. Light brown is warmer and lighter. Antique has a two-tone aged effect. All three use identical construction.

Are these shoes or boots? Shoes — low cut, no ankle support. If you want the ankle version, look at the Tarkovsky or M77 boots in the whatshoes catalog.

Who makes these? Samelin OÜ, Tartu, Estonia. The same factory that manufactures Norwegian Army M77 boots and has supplied Dr. Martens and Rossignol.

Will the leather soften over time? Yes. Genuine leather softens and moulds with wear. Apply a leather conditioner occasionally to maintain the finish.
