List Of Shoe Styles
This is a list of shoe styles and designs. A shoe is an item of footwear intended to protect and comfort the human foot while doing various activities. Shoes are also used as an item of decoration. The design of shoes has varied enormously through time and from culture to culture, with appearance originally being tied to function. Additionally, fashion has often dictated many design elements, such as whether shoes have very high heels or flat ones. Contemporary footwear varies widely in style, complexity and cost. Shoemaking is the process of making footwear. Originally, shoes were made one at a time by hand. Traditional handicraft shoemaking has now been largely superseded in volume of shoes produced by industrial mass production of footwear, but not necessarily in quality, attention to detail, or craftsmanship.

Galosh
Galoshes, also known as dickersons, gumshoes, rubbers, or overshoes, are a type of rubber boot that is slipped over shoes to keep them from getting muddy or wet. In the United States, the word ''galoshes'' may be used interchangeably with boot, especially a Wellington boot, rubberized boot. In the United Kingdom, however, a galosh is an overshoe made of a weatherproof material to protect a more vulnerable shoe underneath and keep the foot warm and dry. Instead of wrapping around the shoe Spats (footwear), ''spats'' and ''gaiters'' only cover the upper part of the shoe. Etymology and usage The word comes through French (''galoche'') from Latin ''galopia,'' in turn from Greek ''καλοπόδιον'', from ''κᾶλον'' (wood) + ''πούς'' (foot). By the 14th century it had been transferred to clog (British), English style clogs; that is, those with a wooden sole, and fabric or leather upper. By 1572 the term also applied to "a Gallage or Patten"; that is, an overshoe with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
