Footwear
Shoes
noun
Remember how 履く is "to put on shoes" and 物 means "thing"? Well, combine them and you have a word for things you put on your feet, a.k.a. footwear or shoes.
You might know that 履く is used for lots of different clothes you wear below the waist, but be careful: 履き物 only refers to footwear and shoes.
The reading is that of 履く and 物 put together. Just know those separately and you should be able to figure this one out as well.
