A Burning Question

danceboy attempted to acquire me shoes in time for Arisia, but between one snowstorm and another, they won't be here until, oh, Tuesday. Too late. For Arisia.

There are, however, other occasions on which these things could be worn. Aren't there? Could all y'all tell me what they are?
