There is a large variety of shoes available for women, in addition to
most of the men's styles being more accepted as unisex. Some broad
categories are:
- High-heeled footwear
is footwear that raises the heels, typically 2 inches (5 cm) or more
above the toes, commonly worn by women for formal occasions or social
outings. Variants include kitten heels (typically 1½-2 inches high) and stiletto heels (with a very narrow heel post) and wedge heels (with a wedge-shaped sole rather than a heel post).
- Mules are shoes or slippers with no fitting around the heel (i.e. they are backless)
- Slingbacks are shoes which are secured by a strap behind the heel, rather than over the top of the foot.
- Ballet flats, known in the UK as ballerinas, ballet pumps or skimmers,
are shoes with a very low heel and a relatively short vamp, exposing
much of the instep. They are popular for warm-weather wear, and may be
seen as more comfortable than shoes with a higher heel.
- Court shoes, known in the United States as pumps, are typically high-heeled, slip-on dress shoes.
Wedge heels
The most comfortable and easy to
walk in. They touch a major amount surface area compared to other heel
types. It is thick and one with the sole. Wedges offer more arch
support, reducing foot and ankle problems caused from the other type of
heels.
Kitten heels
They are comfortable
and easy to carry off as they have a small heel and go with any outfit.
They're not age bias as they can be worn by elderly people also as they
don't have a very high heel. They can be labeled as 'young girl
stilettos' and they never run out of fashion.
High heeled boot
Ankle boot, a knee high boot, risky thigh high version or cowboy boots.
Boots work great for a night out on the town or a casual meeting with
family and friends. They are comfortable and stylish.
Evening sandals
These are great to have for formal affairs like weddings or
celebrations and they also work great to dress up with jeans or a casual
dress. They aren't very high like the stilettos and mostly have
moderate or medium heels.
Pump
Whether
it is a peep toe or platform these heels can go with you to work, to
play and anytime in between. They are the "Little Black Dress" kind of
footwear. Lightweight, strapless shoes with closed backs they are the
handiest for anytime of the day. They can have heels as high as 4 inches
or more as they are compared next to stilettos.
Stilettos
Stilettos are typically the highest of all the heels, sometimes up to
eight inches, and they can be
difficult to walk in because the heels are
thin and provide very little surface for stability. The word
'stilettos' means small metal dagger. Good quality stilettos have
leather uppers with padded insoles to cushion the balls of the feet.
Cone Heels-They are round heels that are broader at the
sole of the shoes but gets narrower as they go down. It can have varied
heel heights.
Functional footwear generally belongs to agreeable people.
A high-earner tends to wear their wealth on their feet. 
Brand
new and well cared for shoes can signal a person has 'attachment
anxiety' or could be worried about their relationships generally.
