These shoes are an example of Pip's family that he is so ashamed of. More specificaly, these boots also resemble Pip's feelings when the stranger, Mr. Jaggers, asks him to live with him and become a gentleman. In a way, Pip is being offered a pair of new shoes, he has been wanting new shoes for a very long time, and has always been embarassed by his old shoes. But when he finally puts on his new shoes, they are stiff, and don't fit him like his old shoes did.
