shoe
Laced foot garment
A shoe is a covering for the foot, typically with a stiff sole and flexible upper.
Shoes protect feet from terrain and weather while signaling style, status, or occupation: running shoes, dress shoes, work shoes.
To be in someone's shoes is to be in their situation.
A horseshoe is also called a shoe.
To shoe a horse is to fit it with these protective metal plates.
If the shoe fits, wear it means accept a criticism that applies to you.
