Footwear

                Footwear is very important to have. It protects your feet from sharp and potentially harmful things. It also keeps your feet from getting dirty or wet. It is useful when running or walking long distances, and is very helpful when it comes to playing sports.
                There are many different kinds of shoes; flip flops, flats, tennis shoes, cleats, sandals, heels, and more. All of these have a specific purpose, as it wouldn’t be a very good idea to wear tennis shoes to a fancy party, or heels while playing soccer. This is because you want the shoes that are the most appropriate for what you are doing. Things like tap dancing and swimming with flippers just wouldn’t be possible without the right kind of footwear. When out in snow, it is important to wear boots, and I’m sure it would become extremely uncomfortable if you were to walk out in the cold rain wearing sandals.
                Socks are also very important things to have. Without socks while wearing shoes, it can cause blisters or your shoes to smell horribly. Socks also can keep your feet warm when wearing shoes is uncomfortable or while indoors. There are a lot of different kinds of socks, and the kind worn depends on the person’s preference and what kind of shoe is being worn. There are toe socks, ankle socks, knee-high socks, socks that barely show, and socks that are fuzzy. There are sometimes when you don’t wear socks with shoes though, like if you are wearing sandals, because it just doesn’t look very good. One good thing about socks is that if you wear them while on a wood floor, you can utilize the socks to slide across it. This may be somewhat dangerous if you fall or don’t know how to stop, but it can also be very fun.
                Although all of this is true, sometimes it is more fun to go barefoot. The more you don’t wear shoes, the more resistance you have to your feet hurting. Being barefoot can feel more free and you don’t have to worry about damaging your shoes for when you do need them. It is nice to be able to feel sand or soft grass on your feet, and it is much easier to clean off your feet than to clean off a pair of shoes. What you wear on your feet is important, and even if you don’t realize it, footwear is one of the first things you notice on people. Whether it is for a specific purpose, or just to match an outfit, wearing certain types of shoes can affect your whole day. (439)
