The current issue Swedish army combat boot looks just like the Finnish model 2005, but resembles slightly more brick and is probably just as tough. Despite the bulky looks, the boot is comfortable, at least with the right sock choices. 2nd quality class, these have some minor 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. Ski groove on the heel. Naturally, the boot also features an internal toe reinforcement.

In case you are unfamiliar with standard leather combat boots made in the Nordic countries, remember that these are meant to be used with at least double socks for a proper fit.

For some reason the Swedish army contracted the manufacturing to the Finnish company Sievi.

2nd class quality?

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 us one bit. Normally these would go for like 150 EUR, so it's a good deal.

Size info

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 out 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, = pick 270 mm).

If you are shocked and confused, we have given approximate French/EU sizes too.
