Not that this can be substantiated with evidence either, but after further research I realized that the location of the mystery shoe spill is right near the proposed FDOT interchange and road widening at Bird Road and Tropical Park. The proposed expansion, which we wrote about here and here, has produced ire from many local citizens and Miami-Dade County Commissioner Javier Souto. Strolling across eight lanes of speeding traffic entering/exiting the expressway isn’t exactly walkable. The shoe conspiracy deepens…
On a positive note, Jose Pagliery of the Miami Herald reports that the shoes are on their way to Haiti via Nashville based charity, Soles4souls.
