- The patron saint of shoemakers is St. Crispin.
- Marie Antoinette had a servant whose only job was to take care of her shoes (all 500 pairs).
- In Europe it is a good luck charm to place a shoe inside a wall when building a house, just don't waste too good a pair.
- Cinderella's slippers are sadly unlikely to have been made of glass. More probably they were fur, but the story came about through mistranslation when the French for fur, 'vair' was written 'verre' --glass.
- A horse shoe is a symbol of good luck.
