"As ever trod shoe-leather" = như được đi trên giày da -> như thể tồn tại, hiện hữu trên trái đất (không tin được là có điều như thế tồn tại).

Ví dụ
He is a live man also, and as fine a fellow as ever trod sole-leather. It is pleasant to tarry (nán lại) with this reporter, but we must pass on.

Throwing out her snares (cái lưới), indeed 1 for a lad, ten or fourteen years younger than herself, at least; and engaged to as pretty a gal (thiếu nữ), too, as ever trod on shoe leather!

Nay, my dear, I don't think you had oughter keep him waiting ; he's your husband, you know, and he raly is as good a gentleman as ever trod shoe-leather ; we cannot expect everybody to be like them as is gone.

We never had so implacable (không chịu được) or so dangerous a foe (kẻ thù). But after he had done us a deal of mischief (trò bịp), we laid a trap for him, and he was captured by the four brothers of a young man that I knew-as brave a boy as ever trod shoe-leather—he was carried off at noonday by Otter-Bag, from the heart of a large town, while our troops were parading (duyệt binh) for review.
