Talk:Footwrap

"Goodbye to Footcloth" Reference
Ref. #3 to "O'Flynn, Kevin (December 19, 2007). 'Goodbye to the Footcloth, Hello to the Sock'" does not point to Moscow Times. Is this a valid reference? This article doesn't come up when searching for Kevin O'Flynn online. Even if it was available back in 2007, it doesn't seem valid at this point.

BBC-TV
A BBC-TV documentary series about life in the USSR showed Footwraps being issued to new recruits. Tabletop (talk) 03:33, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Still in use
Russia did not abandon the foot wraps. Here is a Russian soldier in a 2011-issue camouflage uniform putting on his foot-wraps

Should be added to article. --SergeiXXX (talk) 19:44, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Yep. I served in 2010-2011. We got socks at arrival point, but further we were using only footwraps. Fedorkov Dmitry (talk) 21:39, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
