Shoes on power lines are said to indicate places where drugs are sold in many countries.
Infact verdict: Mixed (53/100).
The claim that shoes on power lines signify places where drugs are sold is supported by multiple sources, but it is not universally recognized. The practice is often associated with gang activity and drug dealing in some areas, but it can also be a prank or a harmless tradition. Therefore, while there is some truth to the claim, it is not a universally accepted symbol and can be misleading if taken as a definitive indicator of drug activity.
