I’ve seen it used that way recently, but it was in a philosophy text, so…
The guy had more than his share of faults, but you gotta respect his reflexes.

To clarify: the food was not served in actual, functional shoes.
It was served in metal replicas of shoes made by a Tom Dixon studios:

It’s still fucking absurd. Its a ridiculous gimmick. Classier than some place that serves ice cream in giant ceramic cowboy hats, but still a gimmick.

“There is nothing more despised in Japanese culture than shoes,” the diplomat said. “Not only do they not enter their houses while wearing shoes, you will not find shoes in their offices either. Even the prime minister, ministers and members of parliament do not wear shoes to work … It is equivalent to serving a Jewish guest chocolates in a dish shaped like a pig.”
This is almost 100% bullshit. Yeah, no shoes in houses and indoor shoes at schools and some other places, but at the office? Or the Diet? No fucking way.

I still find it less classy than a giant ceramic cowboy hat.
A gimmicky cowboy hat full of ice cream can be fun.
I don’t think food in anything shoe shaped sounds fun.
