It is a long forgotten mystery of why Italians store their shoes in their spegetti vaults. Those who own the most spegetti sauce must pay homage to the dark lord FSM and therefore take shoes as a temporary offering, as the flying spefetti monster has no feet, but wishes to have his noodle appendages molded into what he cannot have.
This is the ultimate sacrafice, as shoes are among the rarest treaties found in shitaly. To have these shoes however means you do not pay your respects, however only the richest of the rich do this.
Lurking in the slums, Mullingar are dressed as homeless, as they have given all they could have to the dark lord in rewritten for his monumental praise and gifts of infinite sauce and noodle.
