Out of all the unusual things that someone can eat, shoes tend to be the most popular choice in fiction. Probably because they are the type of clothing one misses the least - if male. Also, they tend to be made of leather (which resembles food the most out of anything else you'll ever wear).note Unless, of course you happen to be Lady Gaga. Then it's something else. Trope Maker is probably Charlie Chaplin, who did it first in his classic The Gold Rush (1925). A subtrope of Poverty Food and Poverty for Comedy. Not to be confused with a Marshmallow Dream, in which a shoe may be eaten by accident (as shown in the Limerick above). Nor with It Tastes Like Feet; though shoes presumably do taste like feet, that trope is about actual food that's claimed to taste like feet or other non-food objects. When done as part of a bet, it's Clothes-Eating Wager. |

In one stream, Jerma985 said he would eat his shoe live in front of his viewers if Sans from Undertale were added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. When Sans was indeed added as a Mii Fighter, Jerma kept his promise, kinda, since the "shoe" he ate was actually made of white chocolate. | |

Tom is shipwrecked in the Tom and Jerry cartoon "His Mouse Friday" and starts eating his shoes and shoelaces. It's worth noting that Tom is generally a Barefoot Cartoon Animal even when he's wearing clothes in other shorts and he was specifically given shoes for this episode just for this gag. | |

Yogi Bear: At one point, when stuck in a cabin in a blizzard, Yogi attempted to serve up a pair of old boots for himself, Boo-boo and Ranger Smith as "Chicken Noodle Shoe" and "Fillet of Sole". When neither turned out palatable, he munched down on Ranger Smith's hat. | |

The Gold Rush: Charlie Chaplin and Big Jim, the man he's rooming with at an isolated cabin, are so starved that they start eating one of Chaplin's shoes. It seems to taste to him very well, by the way, in fact it Tastes Like Chicken. Fun fact: The shoe was made out of licorice. They shot so many takes that Chaplin had to be rushed to the hospital for an insulin shot. | |

In Dragon Age: Inquisition, one of the ambient NPC conversations you can hear around Skyhold involves a down-on-his-luck nobleman that assumes the conclusion of the Orlesian civil war means a change in fortunes. Later, a female NPC challenges him about his supposed riches, pointing out that he's never bought a round at the tavern and probably never will. He then admits to poverty with the following statement: "Yesterday, I ate a pleated leather shoe." | |

Discworld: In Hogfather the manager of the restaurant in Ankh-Morpork, a former chef, is able to make meals out of mud and old boots (after Death steals his food stocks to feed the beggars — and replacing it with the beggars' own "food") by a combination of skill and "headology" (people will eat anything in a fancy restaurant if the menu is in French... er, Quirmian). In Nanny Ogg's Cookbook it's noted that mud and old boots-based cuisine eventually caught on across the city's posh restaurants. You don't carry Dwarf Bread to eat. You carry it so that your shoes taste better by comparison. And if you've run out of those, your own feet. One of the wizards mentioned having to eat boots in desperation when, as a student, he and some classmates undertook an expedition to find the UU Library's legendary Lost Reading Room. They didn't find it, but they did find the remains of the previous year's expedition... and ate their boots, too. |

In The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius episode, "Return of the Nanobots", Jimmy's Nanobots get into the kitchen of the school cafeteria, where their saucer proceeds to "analyze" the sloppy stew by taking a spoon and putting some in an unseen part of its underside. After arguing over whether to "correct" it by adding steak sauce (02) or spicy mustard (01), Nanobot 02 suggests that they just throw in an old shoe, which their saucer proceeds to do before leaving. Hilgo, the lunch lady, then says that she already used shoes as ingredients twice that week. | |
