SHOE: lucky, hence the custom of tying an old boot to the back of the car of a couple who have just got married; shoes on the table is symbolic of hanging; shoes left crossed on the floor or put on the wrong feet brings bad luck; and walking anywhere with one shoe on could lead to the death of one of your parents. A shoelace which comes undone as you set off on a venture is unlucky; if you tie someone else's shoe laces up you should make a wish as it is lucky.
I guess my (second) cousin, Joyce is showing off her shoes. She is accompanied by my Grandmother and my Great-Aunt.
Now that just brings a smile to my crabby old face. Love those Mary Janes.
