Very nice boots. Ive got 2 pairs that I wear. My soviet pair I work in and bushcrafting. A pair of Finnish ones that I use for every day wear and also for bushcrafting. I've become a big fan of jackboots.
@@DevinK It's called Kirza, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirza, most Soviet Jackboots are made of it, but some are leather. (Tend to be Officers boots being leather.), to give you an idea 150 million pairs of kirza boots have been made. If you are still having problems getting it to take a shine, bees wax/linseed mix melted into the surface can give a decent base.
@@vincent7584 Yep, that’s what I was meaning, Kirza, the inventor was well rewarded because it saved the state a massive amount of money not having to pay for the leather for millions of pairs. It’s very noticeable and cheap looking though. I’ve never worn mine, unlike my wonderful Finnish jackboots, that really are well made!
How can ,l get in touch with you lm wanting to buy a pair of boots.like the soldiers,wear at the changing,of the guard in.moscow.size 9an 1 half.thanx.louis.
Can anyone help me with getting these types of boots to fit snug at the heel? I have kirza boots, and the front is tight as hell, my heel is not and keeps going up and down as I walk, like slippers. I've tried thick socks, insoles, all work at making the front even tighter to the point of discomfort, but the back is always loose. I know about foot wraps, but that is pretty imposible to buy in the west, At least I haven't found any.
@@DevinK I have two pairs of kirza, both EU41 - Uk7, one seems wider and the other pair more narrow. The front fits snug, I can't imagine I would even get into a smaller size. Obviously going a size larger would not help. I've read that foot wraps are supposed to fill in these gaps where needed to provide the tight fit, regardless of sizing, because they were never intended to be an exact size. I'm looking for a modern alternative to foot wraps, surely there must be some way of filling in the space at the heel, I mean people wear cowboy boots, and they don't use foot wraps.
So the jackboots that I bought flop over when I take them off. So I wanted to know if I need to polish them or not because of that. Also, are the nails in the bottom of the boot supposed to be sticking out?
Nope the flopping isn’t a problem and the nails and soles are probably just old and worn out if they aren’t bothering you like poking you I wouldn’t worry about it
@@DevinK I just got them and they are poking out the bottom with the head of the nail like a millimeter out. I don’t want to scratch the boots bottom or my floors of my house.
Ali Behrami petroleum isn’t bad for leather as long as your stripping and maintaining it well like Intended and most beeswax is actually quite bad because beeswax hardens in a crystalline structure which and hurt the leather and often times removes to easily to actually provide any water protection
Aurelia Films what are you even talking about the ones in my video are square toed and they are even the same manufacturer they just aren’t as formed because they are new and all of their models are squared toed but the infantry has a less wide toe version the cavalry

How do you get them to fit tight at the heel? Did you just get lucky with the fit or something? My heel keeps going up and down, like slippers.
@@Admodeus they move very little, like a wellington or cowboy boot.
I guess mine are tight enough.
I'm really glad I know a Westerner knows what you know. Thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoyed your day off.
A lot of the Russian jackboots use a leather substitute for the upper part, some kind of tarpaulin leather look-a-like.
Mat these are not tarpaulin

There ones made of genuine leather often called chrome leather and kirza boots (spelled kir za) made from some kind of cloth

Do you still have these boots? I was looking for them for a long time. Where did you get them from? Will you sell it?
I had to order these through a friend in Russia who only had two pairs and unfortunately they are not for sale
Devin K.
I see. What size are they?
41
soo preety much the same thing as the soviet “chrome” boots
cemo1999 much much nicer and with better leather and construction and has stiffeners basically nothing in common outside of the soles
@@DevinK well Then I should look for these instead of the soviet ones. tough I need either one for my imperial russian kit
cemo1999 I have very nice pair of soviet leather sole chrome boots in about a us 10.5-11 for sale for very cheap
@@DevinK I need a size 9.5 mate well thanks anyways
cemo1999 well good luck I’ve seen some on eBay around that size

@@almostnad well I wouldn’t wear them indoor at all they will scratch stuff even if they were not sticking out
@@DevinK What about on my driveway? I wanted to test them there but I thought if they would scratch indoors…Wouldn’t they scratch outdoors as well?
@@almostnad I mean if you care that much about your driveway I wouldn’t and also they a very slippery on stuff that isn’t really dirt or grass
have you tried saphir polish it use butterbeewax nourish the leather better than kiwi polish use petroleum is bad for the leather

These look more German than Russian. Real similar to the boots the Wachtbattalion March with.
Do you have any boots for sale currently?
Very nice. I would be interested in buying a pair. If you PM me we can talk about it. Cheers
Do u sell these boots? if not where can i purchase them?
Rolls Royce Flave there has been many comments that cover this you can’t really get them anywhere they are made to order
Where did you buy these bro?
You can’t. Not anywhere. They are custom made to each guard.
@@DevinK So you killed a Kremlin guard and took his boots? Extreme
Do Russian boots run on the larger or smaller side?
Cody saules they a pretty close to actual foot size so on the small end they are supposed to fit pretty snug
@@DevinK Awesome that really helps, thanks so much.
This is not kremlin guard boot .the boots guard wear are square toed
Aurelia Films depends on if they are infantry or Calvalry actually
@@DevinKno i even saw cavalry having square toed shoes
Aurelia Films what are you even talking about the ones in my video are square toed and they are even the same manufacturer they just aren’t as formed because they are new and all of their models are squared toed but the infantry has a less wide toe version the cavalry
@@DevinK for how muchbtou got them for
Aurelia Films like before shipping or after
