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.

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.

Fashion is a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body, or furniture.

Fashion is a distinctive and often constant trend in the style in which a person dresses.

It is the prevailing styles in behaviour and the newest creations of textile designers.

Because the more technical term costume is regularly linked to the term "fashion", the use of the former has been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while "fashion" generally means clothing, including the study of it.

Although aspects of fashion can be feminine or masculine, some trends are androgynous.
