Footwear consists of garments worn on the feet, for protection against the environment, and adornment. Socks and other hosiery are usually worn between the feet and the footwear, less often with sandals and flip flops (thongs). Footwear is sometimes associated with fetishism, particularly in some fashions in shoes and boots.

People who practice the profession of shoemaking are shoemakers, cobblers or cordwainers.

The oldest known footwear was discovered in Fort Rock Cave in the U.S. state of Oregon; radiocarbon dating of these sandals woven from sagebrush bark indicates an age of least 10,000 years.

What type of footwear for landscaping?
Q. The bulk of the work is shoveling concrete mix and sand. Should I buy steel toe work boots or would hiking/walking boots be fine? What should I look for when purchasing the footwear?

A. I do the same kind of work and i use steel toe just in case something falls on my foot, and you can use your foot as a tool to hit things b/c of the steel toe. Look for slip proof souls too.

Should FOOTWEAR count in the game scattegories for sports equipment with the letter F?
Q. We played scattegories with my family the other night. The question was sports equipment with the letter F. My stepdad put footwear as his answer. We argued about it for hours. Should it count?

A. I'd allow it. It would be hard to play most sports without the proper footwear - golf shoes, baseball cleats, ice skates. It's a clever answer, and the spirit of the game says you should reward those.
