Supserstion of the Week - Shoes


Shoes

In general shoes are considered lucky. This is where the custom of tying old boots to the back of the bridal car came from. They are also thought to prevent having nightmares by placing a pair of shoes at the entrance of your bedroom, with one pointing out and the other pointing in. Supposedly this confused the devil who is thought to be responsible for bad dreams. However, it is thought to be bad luck...

  • To put shoes on a table, especially new ones
  • Leave them crossed on the floor
  • To walk with only one shoe on, as this is likely to lead to the death of one of your parents
  • Also bad luck if a shoestring becomes untied when running an errand
