How a Noahide woman should dress
#18
In "The Divine Code," Part VI [The Prohibition of Forbidden Relations], in chapter 6 [Guarding Against Forbidden Relations, and Following Ways of Modesty], Rabbi Moshe Weiner writes:
Quote:Every woman is obligated to act in a modest way, and not to cause others to err through her dressing and acting in a way that brings them to sinful thoughts, and thereby closer to sinful actions, as the Torah says,  “You shall not put a stumbling block before the blind.” For in a similar manner, an immodest woman causes others to sin through her way of dressing and acting...

As the Torah-law itself permits Jewish women to go barefoot in public, that is of course permitted for Gentiles (although many observant Jewish women take on an extra degree of modesty and do keep their feet covered in public).
Any shoes are of course going to add covering to the feet, so that would not be forbidden as an article of clothing.

But we all know that in terms how one *acts,* even a woman who is fully clothed can be *acting* immodestly and trying to arouse men to have sinful thoughts about her, and that goes hand-in-hand with *how* she wears her clothes, meaning her body language, and what style she chooses (for example, is it attention-grabbing). Her shoes or any other part of her clothing can be part of an arousing picture she projects and flaunts in front of men. Doing so is the opposite of the pious conduct that a G'd-fearing woman should aspire to.
