polainas

Galicism derived from poulaine, long-toed footwear used in the Middle Ages by the nobility and that the church ended up prohibiting because the nobles, who did not have much to do, used it to raise the sayas to the ladies. Half leather shoes or strong woolen cloth that the shepherds of my land adjusted with straps or buckles below the knee to the ankles to protect themselves from the undergrowth of the mountain and the inclemency of winter.
