1. "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" by Nancy Sinatra
When you think of songs about shoes, this may be the main one that comes to mind, most likely because Jessica Simpson did a cover of it in 2005 for The Dukes of Hazzard remake. The original version, however, was sung by Nancy Sinatra back in 1966 and hit #1 in the US and UK pop charts! She was encouraged to sing the song as if she were a sixteen-year-old girl giving the "brush-off" to a forty-year-old man. It's definitely one of those songs that helps us ladies feel empowered and sexy!
Shoes are more than just things we wear. They tell stories about our lives, experiences, and personality. Plus, everyone can relate to having a favorite pair, right? Best believe it, artists love to use shoes as metaphors or symbols in their songs.
Oh, you can find them in almost every genre! From rock and country to pop and even hip-hop. Shoes are universal, so it makes sense they show up in so many different types of music.
Absolutely! Bands like The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin have all dipped their toes into shoe-themed songs. It's pretty amazing how such legendary rockers have songs where shoes get a mention!
Definitely! New artists are always coming up with fresh takes, and you'd be surprised how some of the latest hits feature shoes in their lyrics. Keep your ears open when listening to current playlists; you may discover a new favorite.
Country songs often reflect daily life and heartfelt stories, so it’s no wonder shoes get a shoutout. Whether it's about those worn-out boots or stepping into something new, shoe-themed country songs can be really touching and relatable.
2. "Dancing Shoes" by Arctic Monkeys, Green River Ordinance, and Gavin Degraw
"Dancing Shoes" is definitely a popular song name as I found 3 or more artists who had a song with this name! The three I've heard of though are from the Arctic Monkeys, Green River Ordinance, and Gavin Degraw. All three songs are completely different music styles with completely different lyrics, so listen to them all and see which you love the best. Who knows, you may end up loving all three! I personally love the Arctic Monkeys version best but I may be biased as I've been a big fan of their band overall.

3. "New Shoes" by Paolo Nutini
There's just something about this song that makes me smile. Plus, we can all relate to having your bad mood turned around by getting to wear a pair of new shoes! The song was originally released in 2007 but you have probably heard it on TV when it was used in a Puma commercial. Either way, listening to this song will definitely get it stuck in your head for the rest of the day so be careful!

4. "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" by Paul Simon
"Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" was a song written and performed by Paul Simon, from his album 'Graceland,' in 1986. The song also has back-up vocals from the South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. It was said to be written about a short relationship Paul Simon had with a diamond mine owner's daughter while recording in South Africa. She was very rich and privileged, yet she acted very down to earth, like a poor girl would. It's a great song to listen to when you need to remind yourself to always stay humble and down to earth, no matter how far you get in life.

5. "Blue Suede Shoes" by Carl Perkins
I bet most of you had no idea that "Blue Suede Shoes" was originally written and recorded by Carl Perkins in 1955, not Elvis! It is considered one of the first rock and roll records and incorporated elements of blues, country and pop music of the time. It wasn't until a little later the Elvis Presley performed his version of the song, as well as Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran. The song is said to be inspired by the great Johnny Cash, who told Perkins of an airman who referred to his military regulation air shoes as "blue suede shoes." If you want a more classical song that was inspired and sung by many legends in the music industry, listen to "Blue Suede Shoes"!
