Foot rags or footcloths? (for foot rags see http://www.davar.net/EXTRACTS/FICTION/ONE-DAY.HTM, for footcloths http://dict.leo.org/forum/viewUnsolvedquery.php?idThread=183863&idForum=1&lp=ende&lang=de (last post by Norbert Juffa).

A портянка would be a puttee, for plural, just add an s.  It is (I think)
pronounced pah-TEE.  Not a very common word to come across in English.
