About Footwear

Footwear refers to garments worn on the feet, which typically serve the purpose of protection against adversities of the environment such as wear from rough ground; stability on slippery ground; and temperature.

Shoes and similar clothing make movement easier and prevent injuries. These shoes can also be used for fashion and decorative purposes, as well as to indicate a person’s status or rank in the social structure.

Socks and other stockings are usually worn with feet and other shoes to provide additional comfort and relief.

Cultures have different customs regarding footwear.This includes the use of “neither” in certain situations, usually with symbolic meaning. However, it may also be necessary for certain people to be put at a practical disadvantage compared to those who wear shoes if they are denied access or prohibited from wearing shoes.
