| description | Footwear has long been a vital component of human attire, particularly for ancient warriors, knights, and soldiers over the centuries. Along with the development of technology and warfare, footwear has also been transformed many times in numerous ways. The primary objective behind those changes was to create better foot protection against various traumas and ensure greater comfort while walking. However, even the most durable boots eventually succumbed to wear and tear due to excessive use or mechanical damage, whether during times of war or peace. The boots unearthed from the death pits of Polish officers, executed by the Soviet NKVD in 1940, serve as examples of this reality. |
