I'm thinking of the cheap vinyl spats that they force upon marching band members, usually to cover huge, white shoes.

So were we, u--it *is* the past tense of spit, as trivet says. But there were so many of us that I guess no one bothered to challenge us. ;-)

I was raised to say spat as the past tense of spit. I never heard the end of it as a kid! What a freak I was.

Hey! I like the shoe spats - they're so debonair.
