shoes required
A policy requiring people entering a defined area to wear shoes, with possible additional restrictions on sandals.
A requirement for wearing shoes indicates that all persons entering an area must wear some kind of shoes on their feet. This policy may extend to a prohibition on sandals.
Footwear is the required article of clothing. Some versions of the rule also exclude sandals, so the permitted footwear depends on the particular policy.
Shirts required concerns torso coverage, while formal attire required concerns overall dress. Wearing shoes alone does not establish either of those additional requirements.
