FOOTWEAR

Footwear consists of garments worn on the feet

People wear footwear for fashion, protection against the environment, and adornment.

People who make footwear are called shoemakers, cobblers or cordwainers.


Socks and other hosiery are usually worn between the feet and other footwear, less often with sandals and flip flops (thongs). Footwear is sometimes associated with fetishism, particularly in some fashions in shoes, including boots.

The oldest confirmed footwear which age of least 10,000 years, was discovered in Fort Rock Cave in the U.S. state of Oregon.
