Footwear refers to garments worn on the feet, for fashion, protection against the environment, and adornment. Cultures have different customs regarding footwear which include not using any in some situations.
Socks and other hosiery are typically worn between the feet and other footwear, less often with sandals or flip flops (thongs).
