When I think vikings, I think big, burly, and kinda rape-y blonde guys, not sleek and luxurious hiking boots. But I’ll happily take the latter over the former any day. These Viking Boots from direct-to-consumer footwear brand, TAFT, are made in Spain, have a full-grain Italian leather upper, supple calfskin lining, and heavy duty Vibram combat sole. And, they’re priced at $295, which is considerably less than comparable EU-made styles from other brands (looking at you Paraboot). Plus, no villages were plundered in the making of them, which is nice.
