Athletic Shoes
Dress ShoesDress shoes are categorized by smooth and supple leather uppers,
leather soles, and narrow sleek shape.
Dress shoes are commonly made to be worn by one of the sexes but
some designs can be worn by either. The majority of dress shoes have
an upper covering, commonly made of leather, enclosing most of the
lower foot, but not covering the ankles. This upper part of the shoe
is often made without apertures or openings, but also made with
openings or even a connected series of straps, e. g. an open toe
feature in women's shoes. Shoes with ankle length (covering the
ankles) upper bodies are also available. Such shoes often have
zippers to open them.Men's dress shoesOxford - a lace up dress shoe
Blücher - the laces are attached to two pieces of leather
independently attached to the vamp.
balmoral - the vamp has a V shaped slit to which the laces are
attached
wing-tip - The toe of the shoe is covered with a perforated panel,
the wing-tip, which extends down either side of the shoe.
