peer agreement (net): +2postoly Explanation: I would call them just that. :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2007-05-06 02:53:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Example: "t may sound hard to believe, but Ukrainians used to wear similar footwear hundreds of years ago: i.e., shoes with ventilation holes called "lychaky" or "postoly". Stitched together from tree bark, they were the most economical and natural choice for men and women in any season. " @ http://www.ukraine-observer.com/articles/210/702 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2007-05-06 02:54:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another description of a Ukrainian costume: 4. Man from Hutsul Region. Shirt, embroidered in nyzynka (reverse-worked) stitch on the standing collar, down the front, and on the cuffs; pants of home-woven black sukno (heavy wool felt); wide leather belt; keptar (vest) of sheepskin; black felt krysania (hat) with narrow brim, trimmed with a few rows of multicolored cord; serdak (short cloak) of home-woven sukno, ornately trimmed; kapchuri (socks) of home-woven red sukno, trimmed with embroidery; pigskin postoly (footwear) with leather thongs; a topirets' (walking stick/hatchet) in hand. @ http://pages.prodigy.net/l.hodges/examples.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2007-05-06 02:55:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or "...Here you see an unique Ukrainian FOLK SHOES POSTOLY WITH GLASS BEADS EMBROIDERY and without, hand made of leather with stamping..." @ http://ukrservice.com/postoly.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2007-05-06 05:45:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Postoly" should work, since they are part of a costume description. Mocassins are footware worn by Native Americans in the United States (traditionally). :) |
