A woodcut of Kraków (Latin: Cracovia) in Poland from the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle. The usual English name poulaine [1] [2] (/ p u ˈ l eɪ n /) is a borrowing and clipping of earlier Middle French soulers a la poulaine ("shoes in the Polish fashion") from the style's supposed origin in medieval Poland. [3]
Pattens were worn during the Middle Ages outdoors, and in public places, over (outside of) the thin soled shoes of that era. Pattens were worn by both men and women during the Middle Ages, and are especially seen in art from the 15th century; a time when poulaines—shoes with very long, pointed toes—were particularly in fashion.
It appeared in Medieval Latin as pigacia [3] [4] and pigatia. [5] The pigache is also known as the pigage , [ 6 ] pulley shoe , [ 7 ] [ 8 ] pulley toe , [ 1 ] or pulley-toe shoe .

A modern reproduction of a medieval turnshoe; right, being sewn on a shoe last, inside out, and left, rightside-out, on another last Cross-section through the heel of a reproduction turnshoe. A turnshoe is a type of leather shoe that was used during the Middle Ages.
A chopine is a type of women's platform shoe that was popular in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. Chopines were originally used as a patten, clog, or overshoe to protect shoes and dresses from mud and street soil. In Venice both courtesans and patrician women frequently wore chopines c. 1400 to 1700.
Some medieval pattens were in two pieces, heel through to ball and ball to toes. Joining the two was a leather strip forming a hinge, thus allowing the shoe above to flex. [ 6 ] Klompen may have a carefully placed ease (space left around the foot), which allows the foot to bend, and the heel to lift within or out of the clog.
An original caliga found at Qasr Ibrim, Egypt, c. 1st century BC – 1st century AD. Caligae (sg.: caliga) are heavy-duty, thick-soled openwork boots, with hobnailed soles. They were worn by the lower ranks of Roman cavalrymen and foot-soldiers, and possibly by some centurions. [1]
Men and women wore laced and clasped clogs respectively, the fastening clasps being of engraved brass or more commonly steel. Nailed under the sole at toe and heel were clog irons , called calkers [ 2 ] or cokers , generally 3/8" wide x 1/4" thick with a groove down the middle to protected the nail heads from wear.
