A 'hot shoe' is the mount on top of a standard camera (http://a.img-dpreview.com/reviews/PanasonicFZ20/images/fz20_hotshoe.jpg) on to which a hammer-head flash can be connected. It's 'hot' because the metal plates in it send electrical signals back and forth from camera to flash and flash to camera.
Although it's not a common usage, a 'shoe' (i.e. not 'hot') mount may refer to a 'dead' version of this connector. These can be found more often on non-camera items on which a flash might be placed. In these cases the flash is often triggered through other means (e.g. cable, light slave etc.)

What type of flash attachment can you use on a vintage film camera were the attachment foot has no power?
If by the attachment foot you mean the accessory shoe on top of the camera...these were first developed for accessory viewfinders and so had no electrical connections - the earliest 'hot shoe' I've seen was on a Ricoh 519 I owned - 1950's vintage. You can use any flash in one if you can synchronise it. This requires that the flash can be connected to the camera or shutter by a PC cable - they are simple and common. There will be a small round socket on the camera somewhere - on the lens assembly in old folding cameras. You then need an electronic flash unit that has it's own socket or in some cases, a built in PC cable. Attach it, plug it in, turn it on. I'd recommend an 'auto' type as it'll make its own decisions about exposure.
