Achilles was invulnerable in all of his body except for one heel, because when his mother Thetis dipped him in the river Styx as an infant, she held him by one of his heels. Styx is the river that forms the boundary between Earth and the Underworld. These shoes are convereged at that single point as well... .between you and the Earth.
