So I was reading an article a while back about how Russian Spetsnaz use boots that appear to have pointed ends on front and back (or double toed so to speak) of the boots to confuse people tracking them as to what direction their tracks lead. Anyone know what these boots are called?
Such sole patterns are quite common, however, the tracks are easy to follow as the direction of travel isn't from the sole of the shoe/boot, but the indents in the ground. Also, as soon as you see the sole pattern you immediately know who made them and how to follow them.
A quick internet search seems to suggest that the Russian armed forces enjoy a wide choice of boot.
Is there a name for that particular tread pattern?

I did a little bit of research and they do seem to have an extensive array of different boots available to them. I've found a few websites that sell their standard issue gear as well.Quote:

It's tempting to make up one's own name for that type of footwear.Quote:
