What are winklepickers?

Here in NY, we call them roach killers; you can squash them in a corner

Famous question to a Mod wearing winklepickers, from a London Bobby in the 60's: 'Do your toes go all the way to the tip of your shoes?' Mod's reply: 'Does your head go all the way up to the top of your helmet?' Quite!
