Out of the Realm

I spotted these Prada boots this evening and they made me stop and ponder for a second.

I don’t really like the boots themselves but I do like the boot… “garter”, buckle strap… what is it called?

I know I’ve seen these on vintage equestrian boots… maybe even in Out of Africa… but I can’t find a picture of them anywhere.

Now it’s going to drive me crazy!

Anyone else know what they are called?

    oh wow, i've never seen them before…the vintage version, but i wouldn't be surprised if they did exist, i was thinking about the waders this morning, perhaps an investment for the terrenial downpour we've been getting around here…

    See, I thought they were gaiters first two but gaiters usually buckle over the shoe, right? Or does the term work for both?Hmmm….
