Symbols explained

From Cinderella’s glass slipper to the Old Lady Who Lived In A Shoe, there’s a whole lot of symbolism around what we wear on our feet. Some of us stick to a pair or two of practical work boots while others have whole closets crammed with dainty sandals or even fetishized footwear! We’re a little bit obsessed so it’s no wonder shoes and boots regularly crop up in our dreams…

BABY BOOTIES

mean you’re feeling innocent, pure or perhaps vulnerable, with a strong desire for nurturing, loving or being loved.

BOOTS

are symbolic of a sense of protection, drive and determination. The bigger they are, the more so!

TRAINERS

SANDALS
