Elephant Shoe is the third album by Arab Strap, released in 1999.

The album's title is apparently the phrase said by Scottish teenagers afraid of saying "I love you", where they mouth "I love you" under their breath, but when asked what they had said, answer "elephant shoe" or elephant juice, because the mouth shapes are the same.
