M77 Norwegian Combat Boots: Legendary, Durable, and Built to Last

Meet the M77 Norwegian combat boots – a true icon among military boots. These legendary boots are even featured on the Combat Boots Wiki page! They’ve gained such a following that a former soldier was inspired to tattoo the M77 on his hand, and tech guru Morten Rand-Hendriksen’s glowing TikTok review has racked up over 400,000 views. He didn’t hold back, calling them, “The best pair of boots you’ll ever buy.”

First introduced more than 50 years ago, the M77s were developed to meet the tough demands of the Norwegian military and NATO armies. After a decade of testing and tweaking, these boots were perfected to deliver unbeatable performance. They’re crafted from thick 2.8-3 mm full-grain leather, steel, and polyurethane, making them durable, breathable, and water-repellent. Their anatomical insole is shockproof, antibacterial, and washable – designed to keep you comfortable no matter where the adventure takes you.

These are no-fuss, reliable boots that stand the test of time. Whether you’re braving the elements, trekking through the great outdoors, or just appreciate rugged, functional footwear, the M77 is a fantastic value for its quality and performance. That said, they’re not for everyone – but for those who appreciate craftsmanship and durability, they’re unmatched.

Why You’ll Love Them

• Durability: With proper care (just keep them well-greased), these boots are built to last a lifetime.

Size Guide

Choosing the Right Size: Many of our boots, especially those produced by Samelin, are designed with a larger fit to accommodate thick socks for winter use. As a result, we recommend selecting one size smaller than your usual size for most models, including the M77 Combat Boots. If you typically wear brands like Dr. Martens or Nike, use their sizing as a reference point and consider going down a size for the best fit.
