Footwear Introduction
Footwear or shoes: foot covering, usually of leather, consisting of a sole and a portion above the sole called an upper. It is worn for a variety of reasons, including protection against the environment, hygiene and adornment. Often times, socks and other hosiery are worn under footwear. Footwear Materials include: Walking Leather, Plastic, Rubber, Textiles, Wood, etc... The sandal, a very early form of the shoes. The characteristic shoes of the Middle Ages was the soft, clinging moccasin, which extended to the ankle. It was highly decorated and was of velvet, cloth of gold, and, increasingly, of leather. After 1500, styles reversed themselves, and the width of the toe was exaggerated; two colors and slashing were often employed to complement the costume. The high heel was worn by both men and women; the shoes was colorfully decorated with rosettes, lace, and embroidery. With the new Empire styles, flat soft shoes with ribbon ties became the style for women, and military boots became the vogue for men.From the high button shoes of the late 19th cent. to the low-cut pump of modern times (popular after 1910), the range of materials has increased, and styles are designed for every purpose and need. The primary purpose of shoes is to protect your feet and prevent injury. But in order to do so, they must fit well. Poorly fitted shoes--shoes that are too narrow, too short or too large--can cause discomfort, injury and even permanent deformity. Understanding the components of proper fit can help you make sensible shoe purchases for yourself and your family. This brochure describes the parts of a shoe and how they can affect fit. It also discusses special considerations related to children's, men's, women's, work and athletic shoes, and provides recommendations on footwear selection. Although style is often a key consideration in choosing a pair of shoes, the most important quality to look for in shoes--from a practical standpoint--is durable construction that will protect your feet and keep them comfortable. In selecting shoes, keep this basic principle of good fit in mind: Your shoes should conform to the shape of your feet; your feet should never be forced to conform to the shape of a pair of shoes. Footwear or shoes notice: Prolong the life of your shoes by having them resoled when they start to wear thin at the heel. Also insert shoe trees to keep the shape of your shoes when you are not wearing them. When your leather shoes get caught in the rain or land in a puddle, blot the excess moisture and air dry. Avoid drying them with any heat sources, as this will parch the leather and damage the shoe.
