Thompson BS: translation to French needed (59* d) RE: BS: translation to French needed 30 Jul 18

Décroittoir certainly brings up lots of pictures of boot-scrapers if you throw it into a Google Image Search. And Wiktionnaire gives its definition as "Lame de fer fixée à l’entrée d’une maison pour que les personnes qui viennent du dehors y grattent la semelle de leurs chaussures avant d’entrer."

Crotte gives rather more graphic results in a Google Image Search.

Is French the only language with a specific verb for shoe-taking-off, by the way?
