Meanings of elements
TOUGHENED SKIN for PERSON with SERVICE PROVIDER
…or: ANIMAL HIDE that is TRANSFORMED
…or: ANIMAL SKIN and BEWITCHING
…or: LEATHER with PERSON SLIDING VERTICALLY and SITTING
「Leather transformed」into riding BOOTS, which seems to have been one original meaning, but now also street SHOES or any sort of FOOTWEAR.「Leather, tough skin」and「person with sitting person, transformed, bewitched」in dynastic China also referred to a shoe as 'something worn by putting on a foot' (and that also could apply to a modern-day shoe), although in the old cases the foot was placed upon and covered another object, and not an object placed upon and covering a foot. Service providers were, and still are oftentimes, treated as animals and merely meat. See「processed skin of Chinese flowers」(鞾) and「slipping into a child's foot」(靸).
In English, perhaps as a result of influence from China on the language during the opium pushing heyday when many drug lords lived in Asia, SHOE has taken on various meanings that seem undeniably related to the Chinese use of no-longer-integrated feet. Why are some shoes referred to as pumps? or loafers? why are shoe parts called vamps (covers the instep and toes. Also meaning a woman who seduces men)? or saddles (leather across the instep of a shoe, also meaning a mount)? why are shoes a U-shaped plate for horses, sliding sled runners, the ferrule on the end of a cane, a device that retards or stops the motion of an object such as a brake shoe, the sliding contact plate on an electrically-powered train that conducts electricity, the chute for conveying grain from a hopper, and so on? why the idioms,「the shoe is on the other foot」since shoes normally can only be worn comfortably on either the left or right foot, not both? and「wait for the other shoe to drop」meaning to defer action until another matter is finished?

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
