[6] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
shoe
   of various forms, from the mere sandal q.v. to the complete
   covering of the foot. the word so rendered a.v. in deut.
   33:25, _min'al_, "a bar," is derived from a root meaning "to
   bolt" or "shut fast," and hence a fastness or fortress. the
   verse has accordingly been rendered "iron and brass shall be thy
   fortress," or, as in the revised version, "thy bars marg.,
   "shoes" shall be iron and brass."
