There is a longstanding custom that the pope wears red shoes for the same reason that Cardinals wear red: to symbolize their readiness to accept martyrdom.

Red in liturgical settings is used two ways...for martyrs, and on Pentecost, when the Holy spirit came in tongues of fire.

This long predates the nazis.

Satanists might be copying this as a way to insult the Lord, like the rainbow, but that doesn't mean it is the same...it has ancient Christian meaning.

Popes and Cardinals have been wearing red for over a thousand years. I heard one Q commentator say that Benedict 16 started this. Not true. Every pope since the middle ages has worn red shoes or red slippers. The color red signifies the blood of martyrs and their willingness to accept martyrdom (I think that’s a joke for about 99% of the Catholic hierarchy of today’s church)
