I saw some shoes hanging, by the laces, from an electric wire between power poles. Some of the shoes appeared to be quite new!

They appeared in quite a few neighbourhoods. Are they graffiti on the wire?

What do they represent? Are these acts just pranks? Are they drugs related? Do they mean something?
