OBS

Éperon muni d'un ergot en pointe tenant lieu de molette, d'où le terme "fausse molette".

OBS

Il existe deux modèles d'éperons, celui dit "à la chevalière", fixé à la chaussure au moyen d'une bride et d'un sous-pied en cuir, et l'éperon ordinaire ou "à vis" ou "à boîte", dont les branches sont fixées au talon de la chaussure. Leur forme (à pointe, à broche, à molette, etc.) a beaucoup varié au cours des siècles.
