Papal shoes

I bought these shoes, marked Prada on eBay from someone who said he was a Swiss Guard from the Vatican.

The shoes are those recently vacated by Pope Benedict XVI and are clearly marked "Rubato dal Vaticano" so they must be genuine.

Luckily I had a truckful of euro from Cyprus so I was able to do a good deal.

Please do not make any offers to buy them, I am keeping them as a long term investment.

PS None of the above is true, my wife's red shoes reminded of all those papal shoes seen recently.
