Spats are a type of shoe accessory worn in
the late 19th and early 20th century. They were
stiff fabric covers attached to the top of the shoe
and extending up the lower part of the leg. Spats,
especially white ones on highly-polished black
shoes, form part of the stereotype dress of a
wealthy young man of the era, along with a top hat
and a cane. Similar (but strictly practical rather
than decorative) articles known as
gaiters are still worn today, to prevent mud
getting into walking boots.
A mobster in the film Some Like It Hot was nicknamed "Spats" because he wore that type of shoe.
