Huh, I never noticed that before now. I used to think it was some sorta heart. But this makes a lot more sense.

Perhaps the high heeled slippers are supposed to allude to Cinderella. It was the first thing that came to mind when I realized they were slippers. After all, we can't forget Cinderall and her glass slippers. So perhaps this may even play a part in Crimson's backstory; by working incredibly hard her entire life only to have it taken away by something.

I highly doubt it though, as it is probably only an allusion, if even that.
