5th Place: Afghanistan Combat Boots (CP102)

Buy Soviet Afghan combat boots

This boot model, based on the nailed sole attachment method, takes fifth place in our ranking. What makes this model special? Firstly, it's a vintage model, which means it's not produced today and has no modern counterparts with a board-stitched sole. Secondly, this model is known for its rugged Soviet appearance, a durable nailed sole that is no longer manufactured today, and, most importantly, its history.

The history of these boots dates back to the late 1930s, during the onset of World War II. The Soviet Union produced nailed boots for its army, which was at war with Nazy Germany. However, these boots were short at that time. After the war, the production of these boots continued for civilians due to their reliability. They were commonly referred to as 'Tanks' because of their ruggedness and durability in rural areas.

Later, based on these boots, high-leg boots (combat boots) were created, which became taller but retained the original concept. These combat boots were actively used by soldiers during the Afghan War in the 1980s in Afghanistan. Only a limited number of these boots were produced, making them rare and valuable among collectors and reenactors. Furthermore, these combat boots also attract attention in everyday life abroad because there are no analogs, and they embody the Soviet style, steeped in the spirit of war and a bygone era.

4th Place: Yuft Officer Boots With Leather Soles (BT360)

 Buy Soviet Yuft boots with leather soles

These boots are made from yuft leather, which is the hide of a year-and-a-half-old cow. The process of creating this leather is complex and unique, with no counterparts in other countries. It's a high-quality manufacturing method that would be expensive in capitalist countries.

These boots were intended for officers, generals, and civilians. They are made from thick and elastic leather with a leather lining inside, making them comfortable and warm. In Soviet times, they were also used in the cavalry. Their distinctive feature is a leather sole.

Today, these boots are actively used in equestrian sports, for "Star Wars" cosplay, such as creating Darth Vader's costume, and for military officer reenactments.

3rd Place: Yuft Officer Boots With Micropore Soles (BT351)

These boots are similar to the previous model but are more massive and heavy, with thicker leather and a thick rubber sole with micropores that don't freeze in the cold. This is the most durable model among all Soviet boots. The materials are so thick and high-quality that it seems like these boots will last a lifetime.

2nd Place: Officer Riding Boots (BT350)

Buy Soviet riding officer boots

These boots, also known as "chrome," are considered some of the most beautiful among Soviet boots. Their leather has a special shine and unique quality with no counterparts. If these boots were produced today, their cost would be very high because the manufacturing process is extremely complex and of high quality.

These boots are considered the most beautiful among all Soviet boots. They are light and comfortable, with thin and elastic leather. They were used by officers and in the cavalry. Inside the boots, there is a velvet white leather that is pleasant to the touch.

Today, these boots have become rare, especially in small and large sizes.

1st Place: Soldier Classic Boots (BT345)

 Buy Soviet soldier kersey boots Sapogi

These boots, like combat boots, have a reliable nailed sole. They are considered a classic of the Soviet Union and the most popular among soldiers in World War II. It was in these boots that Soviet soldiers reached from Moscow to Berlin and won the war.

Why are these boots so popular? Firstly, they are affordable, of high quality, and not too heavy. At the bottom, the boots have natural leather, while the leg part is made of a unique Soviet material called "Kirza." This material had no analogs and was developed specifically for the war. It combines cotton and rubber, making it durable, lightweight, and comfortable in different weather conditions.

Today, these boots are popular for military reenactments, "Star Wars" cosplay, and other needs due to their affordable price, high quality, and rugged style.
