Shoes Hanging Up There
However, we don’t just look for birds on power lines. We occasionally notice old shoes hanging up there as well, especially in cities. People connect the laces of two sneakers and launch them toward the lines. A good throw will usually hook the shoelaces over the wire, leaving them dangling in plain sight for all to see. Hundreds of pairs are frequently hung up together on a single section.

According to the radio station WBEZ, Chicago’s city was asked to remove at least 6,000 pairs of shoes from power lines between 2008 and 2015. However, it is not a problem unique to Chicago. In fact, you’ll see sneakers dangling from the sky all over the world. And it’s a phenomenon that could be explained in a variety of ways.
