A shoe is an item of footwear often worn on the foot or feet of a human. Shoes are often worn with socks between it and the foot, but this is not necessary. Shoes may vary from a simple flip-flop to a boot and anything in between. Shoes may have high or low heels, although in western cultures, high heels are considered a woman's style. Common shoe materials include leather or canvas and many modern athletic shoe soles are made of rubber.
