Boots are one of the most common and favorite types of shoes in our country. They came to us from the Turkic nomads and quickly became the privilege of the nobility. They were inaccessible to ordinary people, but the nobles appreciated their convenience for riding and hunting.
The material for their manufacture at different times was different: cloth, morocco, yuft. The popularity of boots was not the same in different years, but there is no need to argue about their convenience. They also found their application in the armed forces. The division into classes was also characteristic of the Red Army. So, ordinary soldiers wore trophy shoes due to poor provision of the troops, but the officers were given new boots: chrome, ash, yuft. Despite the shortage of shoes, this tradition was unshakable in the Soviet Army.
In 1916, a curious case was connected with boots. The state at that time set the maximum price for chrome boots, equal to 36 rubles. A certain ensign bought a pair for state needs, but for 45 rubles, about which he received a cash receipt in confirmation. However, the invoice requested by him indicated the amount of 36 rubles. The ensign turned to the nearest police station. As a result, the store owner and histhe clerk received a small prison sentence for trading at prices above the government-imposed threshold.
Chrome boots combine shoes made from different types of leather: chrome pigskin, chrome calf, semi-leather, cowhide, goat, outgrowth. All types differ from each other in the raw materials used, the method of finishing and staining, color and thickness. It is believed that chrome flask is the best material for boots. Chrome officer boots are still a success. Although at the moment they are not an element of the wardrobe of exclusively military personnel or Cossacks. Now they are used by workers of various industries. This is no coincidence. Thanks to the quality of the leather and its dressing, chrome boots do not let your feet get tired and sweat. They maintain optimal foot temperature and are considered the most environmentally friendly.
Chrome boots are not only made from chrome leather. The thing is that either a different type of leather or fur is used inside, depending on the season. Their soles are rubber or polyurethane. The insole is sewn from leather and fabric or fabric and cardboard. Chrome boots are considered a very reliable type of footwear. After all, their sole is not just glued to the upper part, but also stitched. The back with a toe is reinforced with additional inserts. Over the years, the quality has not deteriorated, but the design has undergone some changes. Now they do not have a standardized length. The current chrome boots can be ankle length or high.

You can also find a lot of private ads for sale, where they offer both used and new boots. The cost of such shoes starts from about 2500 thousand rubles.
