뜻
To undertake a difficult or long journey, or make a huge effort.
문화적 배경
Dealing with 'Edāre' (offices) in Iran often involves 'Pāskāri' (being passed around like a ball). The iron shoes idiom is the standard way to describe the mental armor needed for this. The 'Haft Khan' (Seven Labors) of Rostam in the Shahnameh influences the idea that any great goal requires passing through multiple difficult stages. In traditional 'Khastegāri' (courtship), the suitor might have to visit the bride's family many times to prove his sincerity. This is a classic 'iron shoes' scenario. Finding a specific high-quality item in the labyrinthine Grand Bazaar of Tehran is often described this way.
Use it with 'Bāyad'
It sounds most natural when giving advice or complaining about necessity: 'Bāyad kafsh-e āhani be pā koni.'
Bureaucracy Humor
Using this phrase in an office can actually build rapport with clerks; it shows you understand the 'struggle' of the system.
