Shoes

high heels: women's shoes that have a built-up heel, often three to four inches high

lace-ups: shoes that are tightened to the feet by laces that are threaded through holes in the upper part of the shoe

  • Children usually get their first lace-ups when they are learning to walk.


loafers: men's or women's slip-on leather shoes that look like moccasins with a solid sole
