Sandals are an open type of footwear, consisting of a sole held to the wearer's foot by straps going over the instep and, sometimes, around the ankle.

Sandals can also have a heel.

While the distinction between sandals and other types of footwear can sometimes be blurry (as in the case of huaraches—the woven leather footwear seen in Mexico, and peep-toe pumps), the common understanding is that a sandal leaves most of the upper part of the foot exposed.

People may choose to wear sandals for several reasons, among them comfort in warm weather, economy (sandals tend to require less material than shoes and are usually easier to construct), and as a fashion choice.

Sneakers (also known as athletic shoes, tennis shoes, runners, takkies, or trainers) are shoes primarily designed for sports or other forms of physical exercise.

Sneakers have evolved to be used for casual everyday activities.

The term generally describes a type of footwear with a flexible sole made of rubber or synthetic material and an upper part made of leather or synthetic materials.

Examples of such shoes include athletic footwear such as: basketball shoes, tennis shoes, cross trainers and other shoes worn for specific sports.

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.

Shorts are a garment worn by both men and women over their pelvic area, circling the waist and splitting to cover the upper part of the legs, sometimes extending down to the knees but not covering the entire length of the leg.

They are called "shorts" because they are a shortened version of trousers, which cover the entire leg.

Shorts are typically worn in warm weather or in an environment where comfort and air flow are more important than the protection of the legs.
