* In ''Series/CuteyHoneyTheLive'', one of the main villains of the show has very long blades extending out of his feet.
* On ''Series/DeadliestWarrior'', the KGB came with a shoe knife as their close range weapon.
* ''Series/DoctorWho''. In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E1E2Spyfall "Spyfall"]], the Doctor's companions have been issued various ShoePhone gadgets by [=MI6=], including a pair of TrickedOutShoes that shoot lasers. Graham, who is wearing the shoes, activates them by stomping up and down, so when an army of aliens are surrounding them the other companions just tell him to [[DanceBattler start dancing which he does, shooting beams in all directions]].

* Used interestingly in ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'': the title character is capable of [[GunsAkimbo quadruple-wielding guns]] by virtue of strapping a pair to her heels and using her witch powers to fire them. The result is a very literal example of CombatStilettos. Also by attaching other weapons to her feet, such as shotguns, revolvers, fire/electricity energy claws, and a pair of tonfa/rocket launchers. One of these days, ''these'' boots are gonna walk all over you.
** ''VideoGame/Bayonetta2'' expands on the idea. In addition to the returning handguns, she can equip her feet with swords, ''[[ChainsawGood chain]]'' swords, flamethrowers, and whips.

Added DiffLines:

** ''VideoGame/Bayonetta3'' [[DownplayedTrope downplays]] this; weapons are now wielded individually, so she no longer has separate hand and foot slots for her weapons. Some weapons still equip on all four limbs - her signature pistols, some [[KillerYoYo bladed yo-yos]], and the ''Franchise/{{Voltron}}''-esque form of Labolas - the others don't have ''anything'' on her feet.

* ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'': Honey Lemon's purse creates small chemical-filled bombs that can do pretty much anything she needs. The strap on her purse with the balls? That's the ammunition feeder. The heart on the purse's face is a touchscreen that she uses to code in the formulas.

This trope is about weapons mounted on shoes or legs. Just attacking with a shoe is more like Shoe Slap.


* Real life example: Near the end of UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush's term, an Iraqi reporter threw his shoes at him. [[note]]In Arab culture, the foot is considered the dirtiest part of the body, so stepping on somebody or smacking him with a shoe is considered supremely disrespectful. There's also a famous video of [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing jubilant Iraqis]] slapping a toppled statue of UsefulNotes/SaddamHussein with sandals.[[/note]] Bush ducked, though. Makers of PoliticalCartoons were overjoyed, as the incident provided a handy visual metaphor for ''anything'' for the next few months. Bush's handling of it was great, though. "It was a size 10".

* Morgiana from ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'' is a former slave from a clan of martial artists that specialize in kick attacks. Her feet alone are beyond deadly weapons, able to crack the earth just by stomping, but when she's made a Household Member by Alibaba she uses her former leg shackles as her Household Vessel. At first she has too little magoi to effectively use her Vessel and prefers to just stick to her martial arts, but after a TimeSkip she's learned to lethally imbue her shackles with fire and can even use the chains on them like wings to fly.
