Abstract
Using an object-oriented methodology, this article investigates the symbolic and cultural significance of footwear. Shoes are more than just accessories; they are symbols of desire, change, mobility, identity, and social status. This research examines how footwear links to social, cultural, and historical domains. Through an exploration of uses, formats, and materials, it reveals the intertextual relationships and latent meanings in fairy tales, shedding light on their lasting impact on human society.
