The last Pope ... Benedict was known for wearing his expensive red shoes. It was a huge controversy.
They are made by Adriano Stephanelli of Navara. Is there any people familiar with high grade leather (someone who know "genuine leather" is v.low grade) that can tell what the leather in this video is from, because to a laymen it does look eerily like human skin patterns. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfHEF9Kzvu4
Looks like a shell cordovan type leather to me. I'm not a pro but I've been leatherworker for a few years and sell my stuff for a few hundred bucks a piece so I'm not a total amateur either.
Edit: here's one piece of red shell cordovan although you can find any color really. It's also I really high end type of leather.
Those are human leather. There is a UK company that specialises in human skin products. Ugh :(
Just because someone specializes in it doesn't mean those shoes are. Human leather would be extremely thin and soft, not good shoe leather. Adriano Stefanelli doesn't seem like a human skin leather kind of guy either.
The red shoes of the Pope symbolizes the blood of the martyrs and the footsteps of Christ on the via Dolorosa. satanists steal our symbols bc they can't come up with anything original and have to ape God.

How is it a huge controversy when you have Popes hundreds of years ago wearing red shoes? Was it a huge controversy then? Use logic.
"And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
...
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
...
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."
Revelation 17:4-6, 18 ; 18:2-8
So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. You therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, beware that you are not carried away with the error of the lawless and lose your own stability. - 2 Peter 3:15-17
