How to Determine the Width of Soviet Boots by Marking
Inside the shaft and on the sole of the boots, you’ll find a letter marking that indicates the width of the instep. According to Soviet standards, there are four types:
The Russian letter "У" (similar to the Latin "Y") indicates a narrow width.
The Russian letter "С" (similar to the Latin "C") indicates a standard width.
The Russian letter "Ш" (similar to a grid) indicates a wide width.
The combination of two letters "ОШ" indicates an especially wide or very wide width.
For a perfect fit, make sure to check these markings before purchasing. Visit our store at sovietboots.com to find the ideal pair of Soviet boots for you.
