I think people place the shoes of someone who dies on telephone wires, I believe it is a tradition that started in urban areas.

Kids have been doing this as long as there have been wires strung between poles. It has nothing to do with drugs. The shoes usually appear just after school is out.

If you see boots hanging on wires near military bases, it means they belonged to a soldier who just got out. My husband is in the Marine Corps, and at one point, there was a wire near one of the gates to the base that had about thirty pairs of boots hanging on it.

I know Wendy is right about the military bases. I have seen combat boots on wires from Fort Stewart Geargia to Fort Irwin California -- all for ETS... termination of service.

It means that someone stole the shoes and flung them there

Gang turf... It is like a flag gang puts up to claim territory and to let other gangs know that they are in a territory not of their own.
