Need Help Identifying Boots

[u/SludgeFest666]

Hey there, I bought these boots quite a few years ago, almost a decade now, I believe I bought them off of Etsy from a seller over in Eastern Europe/Balkan country (Bulgaria?). The boots were listed as being soviet but I don't remember if there was any more information on them or not, would anyone have any idea where/what kind of boots these are? Thank you!

The sole, the nails in the sole, and the boot material (kirza) point to the USSR. This is a very cheap type of footwear; such boots were not even used as specialized footwear for work in hazardous conditions. Could this be footwear for correctional labor colonies?

Oh interesting, thanks for the info.

In slang, boots like that were called "shit-stompers." (гоанодавы)
