One goad is equal to 54 inches or 1.5 yards (1.3716 meters). A goad was originally a spear; later it was a pointed rod used for prodding animals to get a move on. The unit must have originated as the length of such an instrument. Unit Definition (pie [Spanish]) The pie is a traditional foot of Spain. The pie equals 1/3 vara or 12 pulgadas. The pie used in Spain is about 27.86 centimeters or 10.97 inches, but in Spanish Latin America the pie is generally longer.
