And there are some mistakes (for example in the "uniform" part) on this site. Dont trust everythig what they say there

Why were these guys wearing such a kind of footwear? There must be better boots for rugged terrain than goddamn sneakers.

[STEPAN1983]

because they didnt have those better boots They used what was available

Kirza jackboots were absolutely uncomfortable in Afghanistan terrain, soviet army boots with laces were piece of shiт. This sneakers were a good and affordable solution.
