“This is a very important issue for us, and we already have certain results at this path. We have already made certain changes, and now the boots are more comfortable since they are made of natural leather, but it is not enough. We have many serious traditions of shoemaking, and my wish is that the boots in our armed forces must be an internationally recognized brand”, the Defense Minister said, adding that everything must be done in order not only the soldiers, but also ordinary citizens wear those boots.

“We want to create a new model which will be convenient for our servicemen”, he said.
