Pigache

This article is about the 12th-century Western European shoe. Not to be confused with poulaine.
The Antichrist, depicted in a 1120 copy of Lambert's Liber Floridus with pigaches or their pattens extended into absurdly long horns,[1] a style later actually worn as the 14th-century poulaines

The pigache, also known by other names, was a kind of shoe with a sharp upturned point at the toes that became popular in Western Europe during the Romanesque Period. The same name is also sometimes applied to earlier similar Byzantine footwear.
