Who could resist bright white spats, over whatever shoe or boot.

Unlikely to wear a spat over a boot.  They were more for protecting shoes and socks, they were pretty much replaced by the boot.

Spats protect the opening at the top of the shoe or boot through which debris might find its way. A dashed inconvenience for the gentleman about town, potential severe discomfort to the trooper on the march, and a distinct hazard to foundrymen.
