Dry-shod means you went across water, mud, or wet ground and your feet stayed dry. You did not get your feet wet. 'Shod' is an old form of shoe: it means 'wearing shoes' or 'with shoes on,' so dry-shod is 'with dry shoes / dry feet.' You will almost never hear this in a shop or in class chat. It lives in old stories, the Bible, and careful writing. Today people say 'without getting my feet wet.' If a textbook uses it, they want an old, slightly grand sound — not everyday English.
沒濕到腳(古雅用語;現在多說 without getting your feet wet)
