1 Pair Soviet Army Soldiers Portyanki Foot Wrap Winter Cloth Dressed up in Boots Imagine a scene where Soviet Army soldiers are in the process of dressing up in their boots, but instead of wearing traditional socks, they are wrapping their feet with "portyanki," a type of cloth used by soldiers primarily before the widespread adoption of socks.

These soldiers are meticulously wrapping the cloth around their feet in a methodical manner, ensuring a snug fit that would prevent blisters and discomfort during long marches or periods of standing.

The soldiers stand on a barracks' floor or possibly in an open field, preparing for their day with a mix of seriousness and routine, showcasing a slice of military life that speaks to adaptability and tradition.
