The ruling on wearing shoes that extend above the ankles

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She asks: What is the ruling on wearing a sandal or shoe that extends above the ankles, and which may make a sound when walking?

Answer:
This involves imitating women. Men do not wear clothing specific to women, and likewise, women do not wear clothing specific to men. This is imitating one gender with the other. The Prophet
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those women who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of men.صلى الله عليه وسلم المتشبهين من الرجال بالنساء، والمتشبهات من النساء بالرجال.
