Stylish shoe trivia

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 put a shoe inside a wall when building a house.

        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 simbol of good luck.
