{"product_id":"red-spats","title":"Red Spats","description":"\u003cp\u003eRed spats are the loudest thing you can put over a pair of black oxfords, which is why performers love them. Ours wrap the top of your own shoe and the ankle, closing with four dark metal snaps on the outer side and a buckled strap that passes under the sole. The red has a matte faux suede-look surface, so the color looks rich instead of plastic under stage lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRed Spats for the Stage and the Ringmaster Look\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheatre wardrobes use red spats to pull the eye to footwork: a tap number, a cabaret chorus line or a ringmaster costume with a black tailcoat and a top hat. We suggest black shoes underneath so the red frames them sharply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\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\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilding a Party Outfit Around Red Spats\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOff the stage, keep the rest of the outfit quiet and let your feet talk. A black or charcoal suit, a white shirt and one red accent higher up, a pocket square or a tie, is plenty. That formula works for an office holiday party, a Valentine's dinner with a 1920s theme or a Gatsby night where everyone else wears black and white.

Pick L if you have larger feet or will wear them over a broad, chunky shoe; pick M for slim dress shoes.
