One of my parishioners bought me a pair which is black but which has red, yellow and orange flames rising from the soles. I wear them exclusively on the Feast of Pentecost ... with vestments ... to the delight of some of the younger (hipper) members of the flock (and to the dismay of some others).

Of course, Father Steve, you dig that your outre display is a dismay to the continuity of the raison d'etre of the Feast. Or do you dig?

No digging here.
I rather thought that the flames on my shoes were reminiscent of the tongues of fire reputed to have danced upon the heads of those disciples of Jesus gathered in a locked room. As a matter of fact, one of the "red sets" of Eucharistic vestments in our place has a motif of flames as its pattern.

Father Steve those would be handy for a fire and brimstone sermon as well.

Yup. These are the types that fry men's soles.
