What does it mean to buy shoes in February?

Buying shoes in leap February means that children should buy a pair of shoes for their parents to repay their parenting and make their parents healthy and safe.

"Leap-moon shoes, leap-moon wear, leap-moon elderly live 1000 years old." Filial piety for the elderly is a tradition of the Chinese nation. In the past, people were so poor that they had no shoes to wear and worked barefoot, which caused their feet to bleed. A wanderer from a foreign land bought a pair of cloth shoes for the old man to show his filial piety when he went home for a reunion in the leap month. In some areas, during the leap month, his married daughter bought shoes for his mother and wished his parents a long life. Buying shoes for parents in leap month is an expression of gratitude and filial piety to parents.

Although leap month shoes are worn in leap months, leap month shoes for parents need to be purchased before leap months. Buy it one month before leap February, that is, before the first day of leap February. If the leap month in 2023 is leap February, then leap month shoes need to be purchased before the first day of leap February.
