Great boots and exellent fast delivery.
A simple boot, but therein lies the beauty, simple things done well is what this boot is all about, very well made with high quality materials and manufacturing at a realistic price. And great service from Kickin' Boots.
Highly recommended!
I've had my Samelin boots for over a year, and they've taken a serious beating—rain, mud, concrete, you name it. Still look good, still feel good.
The leather is thick, the stitching is on point, and they actually get more comfortable the more I wear them. Feels like a secret I almost don't want to share.
Never heard of Samelin before, but I took a chance. Glad I did. These boots feel like something my grandfather would've worn.
I've hiked, worked, and even gone out in them, and they never let me down. Plus, they don't look like some overdesigned tactical gear—just classic, solid boots.
Good, reliable boots, but they took some time to break in. I also got the size wrong at first. I usually wear a 45, but for these, a 44 fit me.
Perfect fit, good leather, hard sole. Love them more than any of my boots.
This is my second winter with these boots, and they are amazing. I have used them for both - daily wear and also style them with outfits. (like Doc Martens, but less mainstream)
Features I like:
- Waterproof (so far) up to the very top because the tongue is connected to the shoe, so if you lace the shoes tightly, you can walk in deep snow and won't get your socks wet.
- The front of the shoe is wider (the toe box), so the toes aren't smushing and that makes it comfortable for longer wears.
- They're warm enough by themselves and for temperatures higher than -10C, I mostly wear regular socks. For colder temperatures, it has space for warmer socks.
My recommendation: grease them regularly to avoid wearing the leather down. They've taken great hits already, but greasing them really helps with keeping them fresh.
Size - I typically wear size 43 and size 42 fits perfectly for me, even has space for warm socks if needed.
They served as my winter boots. Took them on hikes and hunting trips as well. They hold up great, they're very tough but still comfortable and warm. Bootsocks and Leather wax are a must of course.
These boots arrived a few weeks ago, and I have been wearing them pretty much every day. Perfect for the cold, wet weather that has been lingering around as we go into spring.
I took advice on sizing down, and they seem to fit well, and with some more wearing in I'm hoping they will fit perfectly.
These are the best boots I have owned. Baught them after a reading positive review. The sizing is slightly larger than expected, quality is great, not very pretty, but function is what I'm after. Also, these boots were way more comfortable than expected.
You should get a size smaller, otherwise they’ll be loose. Initially, you may need to grease them well with seal oil or wax. Once they’re broken in, they’re super comfortable.
