Shrimp boots. Probably got popular with shrimpers working in the sun all day, much cooler than typical black boots

Reebok shoes came to the US in 1979 and gained popularity in the 1980's.

People have been making fun of shrimp boots since long before that.

The older people on this board know that the correct term is Bucktown (if you're from NOLA) Wingtips. Chalmette Wingtips, Delcambre Wingtips, and Fouchon Wingtips are also acceptable as long as you live in a neighboring community that you feel is superior.

This is the only correct answer. They shrimp boots. Them silly names come from people who spend most of their time north of the ICW
