There are a huge number of signs associated with shoes.
Superstitious people pay special attention to such a moment as washing shoes and boots.
It turns out there are two common mistakes made when performing this action.
So, how exactly should you not wash shoes, according to folk beliefs?
Washing someone else's shoes
According to popular belief, only your boots and shoes should be cleaned.
But you can’t wash other people’s shoes, despite all requests.
However, there is an exception. For example, you can clean your child's shoes.
It is also worth coming to the aid of an adult relative who cannot wash his shoes on his own for objective reasons.
Washing shoes in a puddle
A puddle is definitely not a good place to wash your shoes.
According to signs, such an action can attract illness. Therefore, if a person wants to stay healthy, one should wait for the opportunity to wipe the shoes with a damp cloth.
And let's not forget about the rational point of view. Shoes are unlikely to become clean if you try to wash them in dirty water.
