Seems to me that folds and bunching up of the fabric would make the fit less comfortable compared to a sock that more uniformly wraps the foot.
prolly caused nerve damage and shit.
>Big Sock propaganda
This is only a thing in your imagination.
they were neat
400 years ago before granny mastered wool socks.
How well would they work in wellies with their constant slopping around?
They're what you want to use.
They would actually fill the loose spaces, and make for a perfect fitting boot.
>look mom, im fellating myself on PrepHole again trololol
eugh
I've seen how they perform on ukrainian battlefields. No thanks, I think I'll keep my socks
Sandard issue and also civilian habit before and during WW2 in Finland. Finnish Army kept these in inventory until late 1980´s.
Jarkarätti in finnish (footrag). was considered to be superior over socks, especially when used in traditional leather boots. Cloth dries up easier than socks, lasts longer and many say these helped to avoid blisters during long marches. Best material was woolflannel which keeps warm even if humid.
You know how annoying it is when a sock bunches up on you? This is inducing that on purpose, but all around your foot.
No, especially not if wrapped properly.
You gonna come to my house every morning and wrap my feet properly? No? Then frick off.
Likewise, boor. If you're too lazy or fat to do what generations of farmers and woodsmen have done the problem is yours.
Yeah the generations of people who all stopped using footwraps the first chance they got.
But you probably believe that's due to some kind of "big knit" conspiracy.
They didn't. I'm still using them myself.
>generations of people decided against using socks because one autist on a Monégasque artisinal hopscotch forum is trying to find himself
okay but the reason they stopped and the reason you use them still are totally different things....
Clearly so superior that they decided to stop using them.
They stopped using jackboots, hence a lack of need for footwraps.
So socks are better with laced boots?
Socks are more practical. Footwraps fill spaces around the foot better than any sock, thus achieving the best fit, a boot with laces can be tied to comfort.
Yeah, so socks are superior.
this is literal poorƒag viet cong shit and it's an absolute nightmare suggestion for wet conditions. why is anybody shilling footwraps? with footware it's hard to get trenchfoot in a fricking trench, with footwraps it's hard NOT to get trenchfoot at home.
seriously who the frick is this moronic? who is posting this? ch-chang? is that you again?
OP is a gay but I will concede that footwraps have an advantage over socks, that being the fact that it's a square sheet of fabric that you can unfold and lay out, allowing them to dry significantly faster than socks.
you wear them inside of boots instead of socks you fricking mongoloid lmao
why is that f different
why shouldn't it be? go leave
To evade filtering. There's a lot of nasty, mentally ill people in this forum.
Dunno about foot wraps but the old chads in my hunting boots used to wrap up the top of their boots like gators.

>wrap up the top of their boots like gators
I suspect this picture is ai generated, because of the hoverning pipes.
They're called puttees. They also exist as solely wrapped around the ankle, British style.
yea duuhhhh
Insecurity detected.
>obviously a picture of puttees
>better post that they are putters!
Reddit tier
>wrap up the top of their boots like gators
is insecure
NTA but can you explain for us why you went with the word "insecure"?
He had to point out he knew something even though the existence of his knowledge was not relevant to the discussion, hence he did it to reassure himself: he fell for the insecurity trap.
Anyway, I would not try puttees but if I had no access to gaiters as- unlike footwraps- the former are inferior in most ways. They do tend to look somewhat sharper though.
You might want to try another word
No.
sounds like a recipe for blisters
Why are all you people such fricking weirdos. Its like your all allergic to just being normal.
Are you the same "sockwrap/towel" guy from /k/?
there's a reason we dont use those anymore beyond poverty tier militaries
