1. Crocodile skin shoes

[edit] Etymology

From Middle English shoo, from Old English scōh ("shoe"), from Proto-Germanic *skōhaz ("shoe", literally "covering") (cf. Scots shae, West Frisian skoech, Dutch schoen, German Schuh, Swedish sko), from Proto-Indo-European *skeuk- (cf. Tocharian B skāk 'balcony'), from *(s)keu- ("to cover"). More at sky.

[edit] Pronunciation

[edit] Noun

shoe (plural shoes or shoon (archaic, dialectal))

  1. A protective covering for the foot, with a bottom part composed of thick leather or plastic sole and often a thicker heel, and a softer upper part made of leather or synthetic material. Shoes generally do not extend above the ankle, as opposed to boots, which do.
    Get your shoes on now, or you'll be late for school.
  2. A piece of metal designed to be attached to a horse's foot as a means of protection; a horseshoe.
    Throw the shoe from behind the line, and try to get it to land circling (a ringer) or touching the far stake.
  3. Something resembling a shoe by function, like a brake shoe.
    Remember to turn the rotors when replacing the brake shoes, or they will wear out unevenly.
