In the Tatry mountain region of southern Poland, there is an area known as Podhale inhabited by gorale, literally highlanders. To this day many of the highlanders in Podhale still wear their distinctive clothing we would call a folk costume, except that strictly speaking it is not a costume since it is still commonly worn. The footwear worn by both men and women are called kierpce and they are made from leather. All are sized in centimeters.(toe to heel)
