{"product_id":"ankle-spat","title":"Ankle Spat","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn ankle spat covers the top of the shoe and the ankle bone, and ours comes in mustard: a deep ochre yellow faux suede-look with a brown strap. Four dark metal snaps close it on the outer side, and a buckled strap runs under the sole to hold it in place. Mustard is a showman's shade, for dancers and dandies who want their footwork seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to Wear with a Mustard Ankle Spat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMustard warms up browns and tans. We like it over dark brown oxfords with brown tweed trousers, a cream shirt and a burgundy bow tie, or with navy trousers for contrast. At a swing dance, trousers that stop at the ankle let the color flash with every step. Keep the rest earthy so the spats lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMustard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL, M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting the Ankle Spats Over Your Shoes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pair comes in M and L, without a shoe-size chart, so the adjustable strap does the fine-tuning. If you wear a bulky shoe or sit between the two, choose L and tighten the strap. Fasten the strap under the shoe first, just in front of the heel, then close the snaps from bottom to top.

They began as protection from mud and became a style statement in the 1920s and 1930s, fastened at the side and anchored with a strap under the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the mustard closer to yellow or brown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a deep ochre yellow, not brown. The strap under the foot is brown, which ties in neatly with brown shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it real suede?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the finish is a faux suede-look with a soft matte surface. Brush it lightly with a clean, dry brush after wear to keep the nap even.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore colors of this design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/boot-spats\"\u003eBoot Spats\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/products\/white-spats-shoes\"\u003eWhite Spats Shoes\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mens-spats-shoes\"\u003eMen's Spats Shoes\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gangster-spats\"\u003eGangster Spats\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/products\/spats-shoe-covers\"\u003eSpats Shoe Covers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flapper \u0026 Dapper","offers":[{"title":"Mustard \/ L","offer_id":68189930914036,"sku":"14:200001438#brown matte;5:361385","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mustard \/ M","offer_id":68189930946804,"sku":"14:200001438#brown matte;5:361386","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0866\/2443\/6468\/files\/S2ab01c9c09b14a17b7788d97c0ee1fc45.webp?v=1794570054","url":"https:\/\/flapper-dress.com\/products\/ankle-spat","provider":"Flapper \u0026 Dapper","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
