Dress Shoes
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 dress shoes 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 dress shoes. Dress shoes with ankle length (covering the ankles) upper bodies are also available. Such dress shoes often have zippers to open them.
Maintenance Breaking-in - Some dress shoes are made of hard but deformable material. After a person wears them multiple times, the material reforms to fit the wearer's feet. The person is said to have broken in the dress shoes. Polishing - for protection, water resistance (to some extent) and appearance, especially for leather dress shoes and boots. Heel replacement - heels periodically wear out. Not all dress shoes are designed to enable this. Sole replacement - soles also wear out. Not all dress shoes can have their soles replaced.
