Just a reminder: (By my admittedly limited knowledge) the red shoes of the Pope are worn to remind that the Church was built on the blood of martyrs.

Not a fun concept, but it shows the shoes are definitely not there for fashion.

Interesting. Even more so as it illustrates how some of these papal fashion choices are not completely arbitrary.
