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)
