Tapescript

In the main shoes were thought to bring good luck. This may relate to times in the Middle Ages when footwear was expensive and the common practice was to bequeath your footwear to members of the family. The saying "Following in your father's footsteps" is thought to have arisen from this custom and implied the good fortune. Travelling carried with it many pearls and subsequently many rituals were practised to avoid an ill fate. It was customary in many places before setting out on a long journey to drop an old shoe outside the front door. Throwing shoes after someone going on a journey was also thought to bring good luck. Confetii thrown at wedding is thought to be a remnant of this custom. Tying old shoes to the wedding car would give the strength of the shoe's character and bring good luck to the couple as well as chasing off evil spirits. Bare in mind too, at times in the Dark Ages, the strong smell of human odor was considered itself to deter the workings of evil. An old greeting to the bride and groom was "a happy foot" also when travelling to the wedding it was customary for the bride to kiss fellow travelers. It was the custom for travelers to join the wedding party and not bring bad luck on the couple.

A highland form off this divination was the throw a shoe over the house. The way the toe points when it reaches the ground is the direction you are destined to travel before long. Put ferns in your shoes and you will find treasure.


A common superstition concerning cuckoos is whatever the person is doing when they hear the first cuckoo will remain unchanged for the following year. Some people start running when they hear the cuckoo, reasoning they will be busy all year round. Another superstition on hearing the cuckoo is to remove the left shoe and there you will find a hair the colour of the person you are bound to marry.

In Spain to attract attention, women would throw their shoes at the successful Matador, after a bull fight. Actors are very superstitious and take great solice from the sound of sqeeking shoes provided it on his first entrance. They also believe good luck will result if discarded shoes fall flat on their soles. Dressing has many superstitions and custom dictates the right shoe should be put on first and removed before the left shoe otherwise bad luck.
