1. (n) shoe
   A covering for the human foot, especially an external covering not reaching higher than the ankle, as distinguished from boot, buskin, etc. Shoes in the middle ages were made of leather, and of cloth of various kinds, often the same as that used for other parts of the costume, and even of satin, cloth of gold, and other rich fabrics for persons of rank. They were sometimes embroidered, and even set with precious stones. The fastening was usually of very simple character, often a strap passing over the instep, and secured with a button or a hook. Buckled shoes were worn in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. At the present time shoes are commonly of leather of some kind, but often of cloth. For wooden shoes, see sabot; for water-proof shoes, see rubber and galosh. See also cuts under cracow, poulaine, sabbaton, sabot, and sandal.
