I've seen lots of abandoned underwear but you can make sense of that, but how do you lose one shoe?
Do you hobble home and wonder why you have suddenly developed a limp? Have you decided that a stroke must be the cause of your instability and the only course of action is to stagger to the nearest A&E? Maybe you are intoxicated to the degree that the shortening of one leg improves your gait, I need to know!!!
And as for ' But the first thing that I thought was – who on earth goes hiking along a rough lane in Deepest Northumberland, wearing dainty black velour pumps?' I have witnessed, first hand, a woman with a group of walkers atop a mountain in the Lake District sporting a pair of red high heel shoes! Of the stilletto type!!! And she was no spring chicken either, I can only assume they had carried her up there!

So often I find myself writing, 'What John said!' and it's happened again. What is the point of a hanging loop in a shoe? As is so often often the case I'm baffled! I wouldn't be at all surprised if it belonged to my erstwhile associate Brigadier Archibald 'Ruby' Smirnoff, (Mrs), part time double agent and full time cross dresser (and I mean cross - laddered stockings provoked near murderous fury.) It is possible that this might have been a 'drop' perhaps intended for a certain Vladimir Wobblyball Hackett (Code name 'Feck'). I fear we shall never know. The last time I was contacted by 'Feck' he was heading for an East Coast port dressed in a sou'wester and smoking a pipe. I'll let you know if ever I see a likeness of him. 🕶 🕵️♂️ 🔎
A cracking image by the way!!! 😀
Yours, subject to being double crossed*, John le Carrierbag.
'Double crossed' - twice as angry as one might otherwise be. (Uxbridge English Dictionary) 🥴
