Gold Slippers on Rosh Hashana

Advertisements [?]

Cross posting from the DU Lounge because I haven't got any answers there after abotu 4 hours.

Yesterday was Rosh Hashana and it seemed like every other woman...more than that. Most of the women heading to temple, or out and about afterwards in the Jewish neighborhood, were wearing gold slippers. No heal, gold slippers. I asked a Rabbi online who was in Europe but she had never heard of the custom at all.

Can anyone tell me why women wear the gold slippers on Rosh Hashana? Like what the custom is, what the meaning is, etc? It's eating away at my brain now, and I wish I had asked someone yesterday.
