Layers of a shoe
[edit]
Outsole
The outsole is the layer in direct contact with the ground. The material of the outsole varies depending on the function, dressiness, and quality of the shoe. Dressier shoes have leather outsoles; casual or work-oriented shoes have outsoles made of natural rubber or a synthetic immitation. The sole comprise a single piece, or may comprise separate pieces of different materials. Often the heel of the sole is rubber for durability and traction, while the front is leather for style.
[edit]
Midsole
The midsole is a layer situated between the insole and the outsole, found in some shoes.
Heel
Leather was used in the past, but harder materials are usually more desirable. Plastic, rubber, or polymer materials are now also used. Fortified cork is sometimes used in heels or soles so the shoes are lightweight.
[edit]
Vamp, or upper
The piece that separates the foot from the air.

Leather shoes

Leather shoes
Dress shoes are categorized by smooth and supple leather uppers, leather soles, and narrow sleek shape.
Dress shoes are commonly made to be worn by one of the sexes but some designs can be worn by either. The majority of dress shoes have an upper covering, commonly made of leather, enclosing most of the lower foot, but not covering the ankles. This upper part of the shoe is often made without apertures or openings, but also made with openings or even a connected series of straps, e. g. an open toe feature in women's shoes. Shoes with ankle length (covering the ankles) upper bodies are also available. Such shoes often have zippers to open them.
[edit]
Men's dress shoes
* Oxford - a lace up dress shoe
* Blücher - the laces are attached to two pieces of leather independently attached to the vamp.
* balmoral - the vamp has a V shaped slit to which the laces are attached
* wing-tip - The toe of the shoe is covered with a perforated panel, the wing-tip, which extends down either side of the shoe.
* monk-strap

* Track shoes - often have cleats
* Football shoes - have cleats

* Climbing shoes
* Orthopedic shoes - specially designed for people with foot problems.
* Skating shoes - typically called skates. They have various attachments for skating on the bottom of the shoe portion.

* Tango/Flamenco dance shoes.
[edit]
Work shoes
Work shoes are designed to stand heavy wear, to protect the wearer, and provide high traction. They are generally made from sturdy leather uppers and non-leather outsoles. Sometimes they are used for uniforms or comfort by nurses, waitresses, police, military personnel, etc. They are commonly used for protection in industrial settings, construction, mining, and other workplaces. Protective features may include steel-tipped toes and soles or ankle guards.
[edit]
Snow shoes
Snowshoes are special shoes for walking in thick snow. In temperate climates, snowshoes are used for mostly recreational purposes in winter.
[edit]
Boots
Boots are special shoes that are used in times of bad weather. Styles include rubber boots and snow boots, as well as some boots that work as work shoes.
[edit]
Maintenance
* Breaking-in - Some shoes are made of hard but deformable material. After a person wears them multiple times, the material deforms to fit the wearer's feet. The person is said to have broken in the shoes.
* Polishing - for protection, water resistance (to some extent) and appearance, especially for leather shoes and boots.
* Heel replacement - heels periodically wear out. Not all shoes are designed to enable this.
* Sole replacement - soles also wear out. Not all shoes can have their soles replaced.
* Shoelace replacement.
Someone who makes or repairs shoes in a shop could be called a cobbler.
[edit]
Shoe etiquette
In most parts of the world (Asia, Eastern Europe, parts of the Middle East and Africa, much of Northern Europe and Canada, as well as Alaska) it is customary to remove shoes when entering a house. In the US it is not a "custom", but it is very common. People do this to avoid bringing dirt, mud or snow into the house.
In the Middle East and Thailand, it is considered rude to show the soles of the feet to others (even accidentally, such as by crossing the legs). In addition, in Thailand, it is an extreme insult for the foot, socks, or shoes to touch someone's head or be placed over it. Although feet touching heads is an extremely rare occurrence in any society, some Muay Thai boxers insult each other by "kicking" the opponent's head with their foot (most Muay Thai kicks are executed with the shin).

Main article: Shoe size
* Units for shoe sizes vary widely around the world. European sizes are measured in Paris Points, which are worth two-thirds of a centimetre. The UK and American units are approximately one-quarter of an inch, starting at 8¼ inches. Men's and women's shoe sizes often have different scales. Shoes size is often measured using a Brannock Device, which can determine both the width and length of the foot.
