How to wrap Portyanki How to use Jack Boots Socks Soldier Wraps

[@trikyy7238]

We used foot wraps in the Finnish military in the 80s, with woollen socks and/or felt liners, first in our old timey jackboots and then in the spanking new winter rubber boots. Frostbites on feet became (almost completely) history overnight with the adoption of rubber boots with removable felt booties. I believe the wraps were phased out pretty soon. It's a shame really, they were very comfortable.

[@ZastavaM70AB2]

Question can footwraps be used for sports shoes or loafers?

[@ajasilikonreffkmimmon]

​@@ZastavaM70AB2Depends. Are you comfortable wearing it? So yes, you can

[@williamanding9923]

Question do they slide up at the toes I noticed it wasn't tucked in on the toe end wouldn't that be less effective at keeping in heat too?

[@trikyy7238]

If you wear another layer, like a woollen sock or a felt bootie, you fold the tip under the toes. If you wear snug fitting boots, the tip may bunch up but if the boot is the right size, it doesn't matter. The fabric is soft so it rarely chafes. As for warmth, you get that from other layers. The portyanki is nothing magical. It's a cheap and easily replacable.

[@fightforaglobalfirstamendm5617]

Supposedly this is superior for cold and wet weather allowing for quick drying.

[@zdspider6778]

I highly doubt that. I think hiking socks are superior in every way. And they are specifically made to air-dry quickly. The fact that you have to wrap a corner under the ball of your foot just screams PAIN to me (0:04). Good luck trying to cover long distances in that. Also when sticking your foot into the boot (0:58). It peels back, like foreskin. Frostbite potential +35. But they do make excellent surrender flags.

[@silverjohn6037]

Read this whole explanation so you don't get yourself dead trying it half right. They'd sleep covered in snow. When it's cold enough the snow is dry and the crystalline structure means there's a lot of air space (melted down 10 inches of snow equals 1 inch of water). This air space can act as insulation. So long as your clothes are warm enough to keep you alive at the freezing point burying your body in several feet of snow will get you through the night much the same way an igloo can keep you warm enough even in the arctic. *You have to keep your head out to breathe so you'll need a warm scarf and a knit cap/toque to keep your head warm.* *Do not try this if you are in snow that is too close to freezing point as it usually has a high moisture content and doesn't have the insulating value of the dry crystalline snow.* *Sleeping with other soldiers helps with shared body heat. (Insert homophobic joke in a frantic effort to sound macho here then get over yourself and stay alive.)* *"Sharing a great coat" from your quote probably refers to soldiers sleeping in groups alternating with one using there coat to cover the upper body and the next wrapping the coat around the legs.*

[@andrewevanoff1192]

It's a great skill to have but good quality, wool based socks are way more convenient and will keep your feet warm even when they get wet.

[@rune.theocracy]

I think I'd prefer wraps if in a cold country with harsh winters like Russia or Finland, but since I am in the tropical humid Southeast, socks are more desireable.

[@marlenelampard6791]

Yes wool is great put in jack boots there's a better chance of wearing the heels out from the loose fit..foot wraps often dry faster. And you can reverse them..(wrap the other end) ...

[@bobo8620]

For winter time, we have a woolen foot wraps. They have their merits. The main one is the ability to dry part of the foot wraps on the shins. If your feet are damp, you simply rewind them with the wet side to the top and your feet are dry again. And the top is dried due to the heat coming from the lower leg. This is the standard way to use them.

[@thoscook]

That's pretty ingenious

[@hewhodoes8073]

It was used because it's better for the jackboots, when you wear regular socks with jackboots they tend to slowly fall down your leg because the heel of the foot moves up and down in these boots, this isn't a problem with footwraps. Also, footwraps are easier to clean, last longer, and can be refolded if they get soaked with sweat while in the field. The Russian army started using regular socks when they adopted laceboots.
