Footwear refers to garments worn on the feet, which originally serves to purpose of protection against adversities of the environment, usually regarding ground textures and temperature.

Footwear in the manner of shoes therefore primarily serves the purpose to ease the locomotion and prevent injuries.

Secondly footwear can also be used for fashion and adornment as well as to indicate the status or rank of the person within a social structure.

A boot is a type of footwear and a specific type of shoe.

Most boots mainly cover the foot and the ankle, while some also cover some part of the lower calf.

Some boots extend up the leg, sometimes as far as the knee or even the hip.

Most boots have a heel that is clearly distinguishable from the rest of the sole, even if the two are made of one piece.

Traditionally made of leather or rubber, modern boots are made from a variety of materials.

Boots are worn both for their functionality – protecting the foot and leg from water, extreme cold, mud or hazards (e.g., work boots may protect wearers from chemicals or use a steel toe) or providing additional ankle support for strenuous activities with added traction requirements (e.g., hiking) – and for reasons of style and fashion.

A shoe is an item of footwear intended to protect and comfort the human foot while the wearer is doing various activities.

Shoes are also used as an item of decoration and fashion.

The design of shoes has varied enormously through time and from culture to culture, with appearance originally being tied to function.

Additionally, fashion has often dictated many design elements, such as whether shoes have very high heels or flat ones.

Contemporary footwear in the 2010s varies widely in style, complexity and cost.

Basic sandals may consist of only a thin sole and simple strap and be sold for a low cost.

High fashion shoes made by famous designers may be made of expensive materials, use complex construction and sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars a pair.

Some shoes are designed for specific purposes, such as boots designed specifically for mountaineering or skiing.

High-heeled footwear (often abbreviated as high heels or simply heels) is footwear that raises the heel of the wearer's foot significantly higher than the toes.

When both the heel and the toes are raised equal amounts, as in a platform shoe, it is technically not considered to be a high heel; however, there are also high-heeled platform shoes.

High heels tend to give the aesthetic illusion of longer, more slender legs.

High heels come in a wide variety of styles, and the heels are found in many different shapes, including stiletto, pump (court shoe), block, tapered, blade, and wedge.
