Left behind, but why?

In a brief break from tradition, there is no drop cap photograph today. I want to reserve the image for a photograph I took, with the camera on my mobile phone, after the reading by Hugo Williams on Tuesday evening.

On its own, it was merely slightly odd, but, coupled with several barefoot people in the corridors and a statue of Icarus, also barefoot, the shoes seemed to grow in potential significance. What is going on here? Who do the shoes belong to? Why have they been left so neatly in the toilets? Let me know your thoughts on the subject.
