Le Word of the Day: Godasse

Godasse (noun feminin): Shoe (derived from the word 'Godillot')






Travelling back in time to the mid 1800's, a chap called Alexis Godillot was living it up as a prosperous Army Supplier. He supplied many things including tents and saddles, but is most well known for manufacturing the ankle boot called the 'Godillot'.
