half-boots
Boots ending mid-calf
Half-boots are boots that reach to mid-calf, shorter than knee-high boots but taller than ankle boots.
The term appears mostly in historical contexts—nineteenth-century military uniforms, period novels, equestrian dress: He pulled on his half-boots and riding coat.
Modern usage favors more specific terms like "mid-calf boots."
