In the study of 2017, Teresa Soeiro describes the carolinas made by the tamanqueiros of Outeiro or by their apprentices. A cut board accompanied the foot and a strip of reused leather, or other resistant material, held it. It was the cheapest model. The same book shows that the names varied: in Penafiel, carolinas designated another type of footwear.
