Does what comes after a woman's train, shoes, and feet purify them if they pass through impurity?

What you have read is correct. If a woman’s garment (dhayl) passes over an impure spot, it becomes purified by subsequently passing over a pure spot. This is a concession and an ease for her. However, the ruling regarding a woman’s garment does not apply to shoes and feet when they become impure. The sole of a shoe, if it becomes impure, is purified by rubbing it on the ground according to many scholars. As for the foot, if it becomes impure, it must be washed with pure water. It has also been said that it can be purified by rubbing.
