My mother (born 1918) had special "soft" shoes given to her (I'm not aware of by whom) but she mentioned that they had a series of holes (perhaps three) punched into the side of them.
This was to indicate to the pawn-broker that they were NOT to be accepted for Pawn.
If shoes with these holes were found in his shop, he was liable to be fined!
What a different world they lived in.
