What 👞 means
It means footwear, or getting dressed up.
Beside interview, office or wedding plans, 👞 can say “look sharp.” In shopping talk, it points to the shoes themselves. If someone sends it without explanation, start with your conversation about shoes or clothes; don't assume flirtation or sarcasm.
