The Masonic shoe pin is a small lapel pin in the shape of a blue shoe/slipper. Many wives, daughters and widows wear one of these pins on a coat or dress when traveling alone. For many years this pin has served to identify loved ones of Masons to other members. The origin of this symbol comes from the Bible story told in the book of Ruth.
The little blue shoe/slipper serves as an emblem of the protective influence of Masons for their wives, daughters and widows.
