Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
The thong fastening the sandal to the foot; from Anglo-Saxon laeccan, to fasten; from whence comes "latch." To unloose it was a slave's office for a great man (Luk_3:16).
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.
lach?et (שׂרוך, serōkh; ἱμάς, himás): Leather thong used for tying on sandals (see Gen_14:23; Mar_1:7 parallel). The stooping to untie the dusty shoe-latchet was esteemed by Orientals a service that was at once petty and defiling, and was usually assigned to menials.

Gen_14:23 (c) Abraham thus shows his disdain for the slightest favor which might be offered him by an idolatrous king. He would not accept the slightest gift from one who was an enemy of GOD.
Mar_1:7 (c) John uses the least of the things on the person of JESUS to illustrate his own feelings of utter unworthiness in the presence of his Lord.

Latchet
(שְׂרוֹךְ, serok', so called from lacing and binding together; Gr. ἱμάς, a thong, as it is rendered in Act_22:25), the cord or strap which fastens an Oriental shoe upon the foot (Isa_5:27; Mar_1:7; Luk_3:16; Joh_1:27); proverbial for anything of little value (Gen_14:23). SEE SANDAL. "Gesenius (Thesaur. s.v. חוּט) compares the Lat. hilum =filum, and quotes two Arabic proverbs from the Hamasa and the Kamuls, in which a corresponding word is similarly employed. In the poetical figure in Isa_5:27, the 'latchet' occupies the same position with regard to the shoes as the girdle to the long flowing Oriental dress, and was as essential to the comfort and expedition of the traveler. Another semi-proverbial expression in Luk_3:16 points to the same easily- removed article of clothing" (Smith). "In Mat_3:11 the same sentiment is expressed rather differently, 'Whose shoes I am not worthy to bear;' in both cases the allusion is to slaves, who were employed to loosen and carry their master's shoes, the habits of Orientals requiring this article of dress to be taken off before entering an apartment (Thomson, The Land and the Book, part 1, chap. 9). This saying of the Baptist, as reported by Matthew, is repeated by Paul in his address to the Jews at Antioch, in Pisidia (Act_13:25). Chrysostom, on Joh_1:27, remarks, Τὸ γὰρ ὑπόδημα λῦσαι τῆς ἐσχάτης διακονίας ἐστι(Kitto). SEE SHOE.
