Kind of amazed that the Russian army doesn't supply good quality socks, but its a millenia tested method of keeping feet warm and dry (and better than shit socks) so maybe I shouldn't be.

Need several pairs per soldier, plus spares to resupply as they wear out. It's no surprise really that they couldn't keep up... they planned for a couple of days of fighting

You’re right, foot wrap can actually be better than socks, but gotta be wrapped properly and carefully.

This doesn't surprise me much - here in eastern europe we wrap our feet in anything from newspaper to plastic bags - anything to make it better when it's cold and wet.
