shoes
Laced foot covers
Shoes are coverings for the feet, typically with a sturdy sole and an upper portion.
The word encompasses everything from sneakers to dress shoes to boots.
To be in someone's shoes is to imagine their situation.
If the shoe fits, wear it means accept a criticism that applies to you.
To wait for the other shoe to drop is to anticipate an inevitable consequence.
