The Red Shoes : Kate Bush
Not in the title, but prominent in the lyrics
Let’s Dance : David Bowie
Aw, you stole mine Scarlett67, so all i can say is I want to put on my my my my my boogie shoes and boogie with you.
And still better than her other song “Men Are Like Shoes”
“Boogie Shoes” by KC & the Sunshine Band.
Nitpick: performed by Traffic and written by Dave Mason, no Winwood.
How about:
“Excuse my shoes they don’t quite fit
They’re a special offer and they hurt me a bit.”
– Kinks, Low Budget
“He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka dot vest and man, oh, man
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band”
– Dodie Stevens, Pink Shoelaces
“What confidence in my new built-up shoes,
So smart for winter or summer.

I am ashamed that this is my sole contribution to this thread, but my good ones were already taken. Honest!

Claudja Barry - Boogie Woogie Dancin’ Shoes
Many artists - Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy
The Main Ingredient - Red Shoes
Almost fits the criteria: John Lennon’s song “Meat City” started out as a demo called “Shoeshine.”
Oh for the love of Pete!
Totally correct, my bad relying on the first Google link I got.
“I Could Have Stood You Up” from Keith Richards’ “Talk is Cheap” solo album:
My shoes walk down the street
Only trouble is, they ain’t on my feet
Boots or Hearts - the Tragically Hip
“Just like boots or hearts/
When they start/

Mitch Ryder’s “Devil with a Blue Dress On”:
Wearin’ a wig hat and shades to match
She’s got high-heel shoes and an alligator hat.
Old-timey bluegrass tune: “My Walkin’ Shoes Don’t Fit Me Anymore”
From Fats Domino:
It’s time I’m walkin’ to New Orleans
I’m walkin’ to New Orleans
I’m going to need two pair of shoes
When I get through walkin’ to you
When I get back to New Orleans
“You’ve got to put on your sailin shoes
Put on your sailing shoes
Everyone will start to cheer
When you put on your sailin’ shoes” –
Little Feat – Sailin’ Shoes

May not win a prize, I’m pretty sure you’re gonna knock them dead.”
– Various (including Booker T. and the MGs, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jose Feliciano, etc.) Hi Heel Sneakers
He’s going to need two pairs of shoes when he “gets through walkin’ these blues.” If you take into account the subject matter of the song, his girl used to be his honey, 'til she took all his money. Now he’s poor and love-less and has no alternative but to walk back to New Orleans, his home.
It was fresh on my mind because I recently got the Fats Domino box set.
Elton John “The Boy in the Red Shoes” from his underrated newer-ish album Songs From the West Coast

Springsteen’s Drive All Night:
I swear I’d drive all night again
just to buy you some shoes
and to taste your tender charms
And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms
I remember because it always seems a little silly
Al Kooper’s “I Bought You The Shoes (you’re walking away in)”–may have the title wrong (and Kooper may have just performed it) but that’s the line I remember.
Oh, and for downright strange, Loretta Lynn “Little Red Shoes” off of her shining Van Lear Rose.
