Let’s start this article with a question: Have you ever given a pair of shoes as a gift?

Perhaps the new generations have never listened to beliefs or so-called urban legends, but surely by asking grandparents or parents they will be able to explain why giving shoes as a gift can bring bad luck to those who receive them. The theory starts from the syllogism of three words: shoes, walk, move away. Giving away shoes could lead us away from the person who receives them as a gift. This is because shoes are synonymous with departure. Another rumor can be explained with the typical phrase: “Making someone’s shoes”, or cheating, deceiving someone.

The time has come, therefore, to dispel this theory and reassure all those who are superstitious.

If you have seen a pair of shoes on Fratinardi.it or in our boutiques and you intend to have them as a gift for Christmas, hold on and continue to persuade your loved one by letting him know that you want to find those under the tree. You will only have to do one thing: return a coin, with a symbolic value, to the person who dared to give the shoes away. Like when we give a new wallet and put a penny inside it. We have found the way to overcome this legend and if you didn’t know it now you can rest assured.

Black cats, stairs, mirrors and so on and so forth, there are so many beliefs but you have to know them well before you can believe them. Have a coin ready and keep wanting that pair of shoes. Christmas is near and you still have time to give or to be given ankle boots, sneakers, amphibians, ballet flats, 12 heels and how many other types of shoes you dream of.

Hogan, NeroGiardini, Cult, Liu Jo, there are many brands available in our boutiques in Battipaglia as well as on our online shop. Gifting a pair of shoes can be done and with us you can have the gift delivered directly to the recipient’s home in just 24 hours. What are you waiting for? You still have time.
