== [[Literature]] ==
* In [[Isaac Asimov]]'s ''[[Lucky Starr]]'' novels, Martian boots have built-in hidden containers for small useful items.
* ''From Russia with Love'''s poisoned blade in the shoe-sole is in the book as well as the movie, although in the book it's used by [[Dirty Communists|SMERSH]], not SPECTRE.
* A scene in M.K. Wren's ''The Phoenix Legacy'' trilogy explains that secret agents of the Phoenix have a '''lot''' of different hiding places built into their clothes, jewelry, watches, phones, etc., and that definitely includes their shoes. They also have a drug-injecting needle that extends from the toe much like the poisoned blade in ''From Russia with Love''. (The needle doesn't retract; after showing it to prospective agents, the instructor must '''carefully''' break it off and put it in the [[Disintegrator Ray|disposal unit]].)
