In Greek mythology, shoes with wings on the back are known as "winged sandals" or "talaria." These shoes were worn by the messenger god Hermes, allowing him to travel swiftly between the mortal world and the realm of the gods. The significance of these shoes lies in their association with speed, agility, and divine messenger duties, symbolizing Hermes' role as a mediator between gods and mortals.
