I was doing some JLPT listening exercises on
[YouTube](https://youtu.be/-SbVXO2ogjs?t=440) and found these two expressions
which I couldn't find any references on online dictionaries.

I am looking for clarifications on the matter.

1)履くための靴

2)歩くための靴

履くための靴 is the one on the video. It was translated as "Inside Shoes". Because I
couldn't find anything on Jisho.org, I searched for the expression on google
images. And then I found the second expression (歩くための靴), which I believe, by
the kanji, could mean "Outside Shoes"/"Shoes for walking" as contrasting to
the first option.

question
meaning kanji
"歩くための靴" VS "履くための靴 "
履くための靴 means "shoes for wearing", but this makes little sense in isolation.
Here the video says 中で履くための靴, where this 中で means "indoors". 中で履くための靴
literally means "shoes for wearing indoors". This type of shoes are usually
simply called [上履き](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uwabaki) in Japanese, but
slippers would do if you don't own ones.

There is a word 外履き ( _sotobaki_ , "outside shoes"), but this is used only
when the contrast with 上履き is important. If we simply say 靴 without context,
it refers to 外履き.

歩くための靴 is not a fixed phrase. Maybe it refers to something like sneakers or
light trekking shoes, but its meaning should depend on the context.
