    BTW, you will also note that I have to add a substantial gusset, in order to get my leg into these Russian made boots. My calf muscles are much larger than the average Soviet citizen, because I have been riding since I was six.

    Those heel caps/plates look a lot like German toe plates. If there is a number stamped somewhere near the two center nails, they are probably German WWII toe plates.
