Puncture resistance denotes the relative ability of a material or object to inhibit the intrusion of a foreign object.

This is defined by a test method, regulation, or technical specification.

It can be measured in several ways ranging from a slow controlled puncture to a rapid impact of a sharp object or a rounded probe.

In visual arts, music, and other mediums, minimalism is a style that uses pared-down design elements.

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.

Barefoot is the most common term for the state of not wearing any footwear.

Wearing shoes and keeping the feet protected against the environment has been the normal state in urbanized civilizations since early antiquity, and can be regarded as a convention in most cultures.

This is particularly the case in urban surroundings, where going barefoot is rather unusual and mostly limited to private situations.

While footwear is primarily worn for functional, societal and fashion reasons, the exposure of bare feet can have a similar significance as it is a traditional sign of humility and meekness in most cultures while footwear is often seen as a symbol for empowerment.

At this certain types of shoes can symbolize defensibility and aggression in certain cases (for example combat boots) while bare feet typically symbolize the contrary such as being without or in need of protection, being vulnerable or defenceless and often the according submission under a certain authority or greater power.

These implications are frequently used for religious purposes, where they are deliberately sought out, but also translate to secular situations.
