Hello, folks. I found this image online (I don’t remember where). I’ve seen posters of animals at the local school (in English, Spanish, and German), but not shoes.
In this last issue of shoes you can use, here are a few of the rarer ones in detail.
Chukka boot
A chukka boot is an ankle-high leather or suede boot with open lacing and two or three pairs of eyelets, originally inspired by polo and military footwear. A desert boot is a particular type of chukka boot.
Balmoral boot
Balmoral boots feature a closed lacing system, which is a defining characteristic that distinguishes them from other types of boots. Some say it is an Oxford shoe in boot form. Originally, Balmoral boots extended to mid-calf, but modern versions usually sit just above the ankle.
D’Orsay
Defined by its distinctive design in which the sides of the shoe are cut away. This reveals the arch of the foot, while maintaining a structured heel and toe area.
This cutaway design can appear on one or both sides of the shoe, and when both sides are removed, it is sometimes called a "double D’Orsay"
Espadrilles
The soles are made from jute or hemp. Jute is a natural fiber known for its durability and sustainability. Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant grown for various purposes, like making rope or shoe soles.
The upper part of an espadrille is usually made from cotton or canvas. This characteristic provides breathability and comfort.
Espadrilles originated in Spain.
Jodhpur boot
Jodhpur boots are a style of ankle-high riding boots originally designed to be worn with jodhpurs (riding pants). They are characterized by a rounded toe, low heel, and often feature either elastic side panels or a zip closure for easy wear. The name comes from the Indian city of Jodhpur, where they were popularized among polo players in the 1920s.

There are also clogs and slippers and gladiator sandals…so many I did not cover. If you’re a foot fiend like Quentin Tarantino, the internet is your oyster. Have fun!
