This is especially true when it comes to romance and relationships.
It might sound a little far-fetched, but plenty of videos under the hashtag#theshoetheorysay otherwise.
Inanother TikTok, user@angela.chaangives the origin story of this Chinese superstition.
@beluga113 is just one of the many individuals sharing stories like this on #theshoetheory page.
However, other users challenged the theory.
Inthis video, she suggested you have the person you gifted shoes to give you a dollar.
If this is done, you could rephrase the situation as though they paid you for it.
And then, voila, the shoes will no longer be considered a present.
