Poulaines/Krackows/Matehualas???

We last saw them on court jesters in Medieval England, but pointy-toed boots, it seems are making a major comeback in Mexico.
Young men have developed an obsession with the bold footwear, with toes so long, they are curled up in a giant spiral.
Cobblers in the farming town of Matehuala in northeastern Mexico, described how it was a single mystery customer that sparked the trend.
Now shoppers are competing for ever more outlandish variations.
