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. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9peron%20%C3%A0%20bo%C3%AEte

Le Grand Larousse donne «éperon à molette» comme équivalent de «box spur»; c'est une erreur. Le «box spur» est un type d'éperon par rapport au mode d'attachement à la botte du cavalier et non en ce qu'il est muni ou non d'une molette. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9peron%20%C3%A0%20bo%C3%AEte
