Women's shoes or overshoes, usually with a mulelike upper and a high platform sole of cork or sometimes of wood; worn from the 14th to 18th century to increase height and protect the feet from cold, wet, and dirt. For mulelike footwear with thinner soles used as slippers or overshoes, use "pantofles."
