Goofing on the Paul is dead rumors. Corpses are buried without shoes at least that was what I was told when the rumor was going full bore way back when. Here is what wiki has to say.

the interpretation of the Abbey Road album cover as depicting a funeral procession. Lennon, dressed in white, is said to symbolise the heavenly figure; Starr, dressed in black, symbolises the undertaker; George Harrison, in denim, represents the gravedigger; and McCartney, barefoot and out of step with the others, symbolises the corpse.[15] The number plate of the white Volkswagen Beetle in the photo was identified as further "evidence",[9][39] the characters "28IF" representing McCartney's age "if" he had still been alive.[20][nb 5] That the left-handed McCartney holds a cigarette in his right hand was also said to support the idea that he was an imposter.[18]

On the other hand a real mystery that will probably never be solved is who the girl on the back cover is or was. This is the photo used without the album credits.
