The shoe conspiracy

These days there are a lot of serious topics...

This is not one of them. But it is mysterious so it fits the theme and it may liven the spirits.

The Florida Highway Patrol said thousands of work boots, bath slippers, sneakers, beach sandals, even pairs of inline skates, inexplicably materialized shortly before 8 a.m. Friday on the busy roadway. Traffic was disrupted for hours.

Apparently thousands of shoes appeared on a highway in Miami. I think it would be really funny if it was all the shoes people send to the White House.



Any thoughts were they could have come from?

[edit to add:]

Mods, I am not sure if this fits here. Please feel free to move it to its rightful location.

They came from a truck that was hauling donated shoes from those bins you see around that you can dump your old shoes in for the homeless. The driver lost control and his load dumped on the highway. He did not want to deal with it so he just drove off and left the mess.
