Poulaine The long pointy ends of the shoes known as 'crakows' or 'crackowes' which were a style of shoes that were very popular in the 15th century. They began in the late 14th century and fell from fashion after about 1480–90. They were worn by men and women, but men's were the most extravagantly long. Sometimes the point of the poulaine would need support from a whalebone or a string tied to the leg (just below the knee) to stop the point getting in the way when walking.
