Why can't you get married in sandals?

It is believed that a bride who wears sandals for a wedding can get the evil eye from unkind people. The consequences can be very different, ranging from illness to an unhappy family life.
There is another explanation: when the heel or toe of a wedding shoe is open, family and material well-being will flow through the open space, and anger, aggression and hatred will gradually fill the house, which ultimately will lead to a break in relations.
Sand and small stones will get into shoes with open noses, and this can lead to the appearance of a rival who wants to grab the attention of the future husband – this is another rationale for the sign why it is impossible to get married in sandals.
