Sheila Wilson Jun 11, 2010:
wetsuit boot in lace? The problem here is that bootees (I don't know the spelling bootie) can be for babies, operating theatre and clean room workers, divers, as well as being a high-fashion item for women
Hermine Manidongosa Jun 11, 2010:
J'ai trouvé quelque part la définition de bootie : A wetsuit boot worn while doing water sports. Je pense donc qu'il s'agit d'une sorte de bottes.

If they're for babies, then they would be chaussons

Note the ladies' ones are more often called ankle boots - presumably because we don't like wearing the same things as babies! I certainly call mine ankle boots, and they were sold here as bottines.

neutral Sheila Wilson : Ah! In the light of this proposal, I'd strongly suggest our Asker check with his client if the context isn't very, very clear. Someone could get very upset. :-)
