What Wikipedia says

Footwraps (German: Fußlappen, Russian: Портянки, romanized: portyanki, lit. 'footwraps', also referred to as foot cloths, rags, bandages or bindings) are rectangular pieces of cloth that are worn wrapped around the feet to reduce chafing from other footwear, absorb sweat and improve the foothold.
