A report by the Russian state statistics agency Rosstat found that a third of households polled could not afford more than two pairs of shoes per person, per year.
The data also revealed that 80% of Russian families found it difficult to make ends meet.
52.9% households can't cope with unexpected expenses - including house repairs or medical costs.
Amongst its other findings, the survey reveals that close to half of all households cannot run to a week's annual holiday, even staying with friends or family.
About 10% of those questioned could not afford to eat meat or fish three times a week.
12.6% of homes either shared a communal toilet or had an outside toilet.In rural Russia, where many village homes still have an outhouse, that figure is above 38%.
