Gamasche = spat
stiefelette = half boot
Please remove the hooks. You are not a toddler.
Stiefel = boot
Stiefelette = ankle boot (diminutive of Stiefel)
But, heck, in English they are all called 'boots'.
Remove the hooks if you like. Just don't say I didn't warn you as you struggle to get the boots on and off. Notice the way some of the boots in the 1896 catalogue have hooks too.
