shoes
! As with most idioms, these shoe expressions have unexpected and unpredictable meanings. Don’t worry—they’re not just about shoes. In fact, some of these expressions are used to talk about very common and everyday situations, so you will encounter them often in English conversation, shows, and books. I will teach you the meaning of sayings like arch-villain
, sole purpose
, laced with
something, stepping out in style
, and more. If you are on a shoestring budget

It’s useful idioms of shoe. Thank you very much.
Thank u
we appreciate it James , but there is an idiom related to shoe and you did not mention , it is ” put yourself in my shoes”
That’s a good one, too!
For anyone who doesn’t know what it means, “to put yourself in someone’s shoes” or “walk a mile in someone’s shoes” means “imagine if you were in someone else’s situation.”
Person 1: “Stealing is always wrong. The man who stole that bread should go to jail.”
Person 2: “He stole it to feed his family. Put yourself in his shoes. Could you let your children go to bed hungry?”
it is very great pessons thanks for presented it to me
