Sort of the green beret equivalent. Starting from the ground up here is the typical equipment of the spetsnaz soldier. The most important item of the soldier is his footwear, apart from his parachute of course . The boots are made of thick soft ox-hide and weigh a good deal less than they appear to on first sight. The straps are also very soft.
Every boot is the result of thousand of years of experience .
Each sole is made up of three layers very similar to the layers used in bullet proof vest. These layers however are to protect the soldiers feet from being punctured by stakes and other less visible but more painful things likely to be found wHere he is not wanted. Only one type of sock is used with the spetsnaz boots, a very thick sock made of pure wool. The spetsnaz soldier always wears the same type of sock wherever he goes wether it be high mountains, low plains, steaming desert or frozen tundra. As for the rest of the spetsnaz soldiers clothing, his undergarment is made of a thick linen.
