The original soles were cardboard & the original heels were made of a very cheap man-made material. These black boots are approximately a size 8.5 but wide in the toes. (The indicated Soviet size & American sole indications do not apply). With a very thick pair of socks or one thin pair & one thick pair of socks they will fit very comfortably.
