Meaning and scope
Definition
Footwear is an item worn on or around the feet to cover or support them. It does not determine a particular form, material, use, activity, occupation, era, region, culture, or the wearer's identity.
In more detail
It concerns the visible form of footwear worn at the feet. It is distinct from armor that protects an entire leg, an overall clothing style, an item held in the hand, and an action such as walking or competing. Footwear alone does not infer a particular occupation, social status, season, place, or cultural dress style. Shape, material, color, use, and activity can be specified separately.

What this does not imply
- A particular form, material, use, activity, occupation, era, region, culture, or the wearer's identity
Variability
Shape, material, color, use, activity, and wearer can be adjusted separately.
