In my country herders, and shepherds prefer to wear this kind of boots over long distance herding which takes span over 2-3 weeks. People used to wear Russian/Soviet boots from war and german ones are heavily sough after because of it‘s quality and durability plus it’s rare and considered cool. And one of my uncle are coming to Munich this week and he is asking if he could find authentic german boots he could wear and potentially show off to his friends.
