Spats (footwear) - Wikipedia
Search domain en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spats_(footwear)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spats_(footwear)
Spats, a shortening of spatterdashes, or spatter guards are a type of classic footwear accessory for outdoor wear, covering the instep and the ankle. Spats are distinct from gaiters, which are garments worn over the lower trouser leg as well as the shoe.
"tyre[sic] deflectors" is generic. Local to me, planes have pants and cars have skirts. Rather than 'deflector' I'd say the OEM efforts are merely a wickerbill.
