Get your doll ready for the Renaissance Faire with this medieval shoe pattern inspired by sharp pointed shoes worn by noblemen in the 14th and 15th century.
Every person who could afford shoes wore poulaines, though the longer tips were generally reserved for nobility who could afford to wander around in footwear seemingly designed for pratfalls.

They were low-cut, flat-soled, slip-on shoe- sometimes fastened with a side lace or toggle. The poulaines distinctive feature was its very pronounced, pointed toe.
These shoes from the Middle Ages were also being cut to show off the colored hose around a lord’s ankle. In this time, tunics were getting shorter and young men would have been showing off their legs.

This pattern will guide you to create a pair of poulaines. Two methods are included:

1. Soft Sole — You completely sew the shoe on the sewing machine and turn once complete.
2. Foam Sole — The top of the shoe is completed and then glued onto a foam base.
