Shoes Superstitions
- Never give shoes for Christmas gifts.
- Giving a new pair of shoes as Christmas gifts would make your
friends walk away from you.
- Wearing new shoes on Christmas Day brings bad luck.
- In Greece, burning old shoes during the Christmas season is said
to prevent misfortunes in the coming year.
- According to English customs, however, 'If you do not give a new
pair of shoes to a poor person at least once in your lifetime, you
will go barefoot in the next world', so English people often gift
shoes as Christmas presents to the poor.
- Unmarried girls may throw a shoe over their shoulders and towards
the door. If the shoe lands with its toe pointing towards the door
the girl will marry within a year.
