No problem. BTW, they are very good against cold, as long as you don't get them wet. So might want to pick up some rubber "galosha"s to go with the "valenki"s so that they stay dry.

15 seconds on google. Also try the sovietski collection. I ordered a titanium Crowbar for my truck from them a year or so ago. I get a catalog every once and a while from them. They sell soviet stuff. Dont remember the address, and do not have a catalog handy.

Sovietskihas a lot of cool stuff. Great place to do with business with. The surplus rangefinder I got from them has led to many a coyote's demise.

I just linked it saying to look. I have no clue what the boots are, or what they look like. I also do not have an address or anything. I have never been there. I know they sell tons of wierd stuff like soviet boots though, as they advertize on the radio station I listen too all the time (q101)
