A shoe is an item of footwear intended to protect and comfort the human foot while the wearer is doing various activities. Shoes are also used as an item of decoration and fashion. 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.

footwear to relieve discomfort associated with
many foot and ankle disorders, such as blisters,
bunions, calluses and corns, hammer toes,
plantar fasciitis, or heel spurs. They may also be
worn by individuals with diabetes or people
with unequal leg length. These shoes typically
have a low heel, tend to be wide with a
particularly wide toe box, and have a firm heel
to provide extra support. Some may also have a
removable insole, or orthotic, to provide extra
arch support.
