Descrizione:

Evidently a kind of ridged shoe since the example quoted is from undated ordinances of the York cordwainers. <i>c</i>.1424 <i>pro xij paribus de quarteredware or crested hottes xd </i>(SS120/194). It may have been a type of nickname in which case it is worth noting that ‘hott’ could be a padded leather sheath for the spur of a fighting cock (OED).
