*It is stated on page 422 of the 16^th part of Bahar-e-Shari’at, volume 3: i.e. women should not wear masculine shoes. Both men and women are forbidden to adopt each other’s styles in all such things that show a difference between them. Neither men should adopt feminine styles nor should women adopt masculine ones.

   *When you sit down, take off shoes. This will relax your feet.

   *Not turning the shoe right side up despite seeing it lying upside down (is a cause of deprivation in sustenance). It is stated in the book Dawlat-e-Bay-Zawaal: If the shoe remains lying upside down for the whole night, Satan comes and sits on it and it is the throne of Satan. (Sunni Bihishti Zaywar, part 5, pp. 601)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
