Shoe strangles the foot. But it advances. (La chaussure étrangle le pied. - Mais elle fait avancer)

The ivy of the old age begins at the feet that hurt. (Le lierre de la vieillesse - Commence aux pieds qui blessent.)

You have to be careful what you do because the shoe may be on the other foot someday.

Reshape one's foot to try to fit into a new shoe.

Now the shoe is on the other foot, I am asking the questions.

You cannot put the same shoe on every foot.
