Shoes, like any thing worn by this or that person, acquire and retain its energy over time. This is what our ancestors thought, and many people still think so. Therefore, the people have signs based on the wearing of shoes and their properties.

Here are just a few of them:

Drinking from the bride's shoe - for a long family life

The modern custom of stealing the bride's shoe and then drinking from it came from our ancestors. Remember the tale of the hoof, from which Ivanushka got drunk and became a kid? So this custom is directly related to the old Russian legends about affection and love between the bride and groom in joy and sadness.

You go on a date - turn around three times in your heels

The number three for the Slavs is magic, so if you want good luck on the first date, then be sure to perform this ritual. But with extreme caution, it is recommended to do the data for girls with stilettos, since this is fraught not only with injury, but also with the loss of your favorite shoes. And in this case, you can forget about a date.

New shoes on bare feet are not tried on

If someone does not remember, then any shoes of a Russian peasant, at best, were bast shoes. And therefore, in order to carry them around, avoiding bloody calluses, it was necessary to reel onuchi on his legs. Therefore, they said that if you put on new shoes without wearing them, you go through the whole autumn with cold feet, since sandals simply won't fit on your swollen feet.

Trampled heel is a bad omen

This sign is familiar not only to the Slavs, but also to the French, British, and Germans. They all interpret it in their own style, but its meaning boils down to one thing: if a person has one heel worn out, then dark forces have infiltrated him and outweigh half of the body in one direction. If he clubfoot on both legs, expect trouble, the unclean one is already close. Usually, shoes worn out on one side were repaired as best they could, since it was expensive to throw away, and the person who wore them was treated with prayers for a long time.

If one shoe is lost

This sign is as old as the world. It says that a person who wanders the street in one shoe runs the risk of losing a close relative. It is difficult to imagine an individual walking around the city in one sneaker. And it is all the more strange to see him in an ancient city rich in possible superstitions. But, one way or another, such a sign exists among many peoples. Perhaps it is connected with the fact that it is difficult to lose the second shoe, and even more so to walk without it.

You can't put your shoes on the chair

A sign says that the shoes on the chair predict imminent suicide. Considering that in many world religions, suicide is one of the most terrible sins, then the shoes themselves, standing on a chair, should cause sacred awe and fear, as they serve as a reminder of imminent death. But many people, bringing new shoes home, often put them on a stool, admiring the perfection of the shapes. And they live happily ever after.

From all the signs, we can conclude:

shoes should be comfortable, beautiful, dry and warm. Do not pay attention to the signs, otherwise your life may turn into overcoming someone's ancient delusions.
