SHISTERY?

I don't really know what's going on here:
This daring yellow rope will show the world that you don't care about anything, not even keeping your shoes attached to your feet.

Meanwhile, while others are helping the elderly and excitedly calling each other about the facinating article in the most recent issue of Daedalus, I just spent about 40 minutes trying to read the words on the footbed of this shoe.

Possibilities:
1. LIUEF
2. MNN
3. PA MIE
4. MIN

READERS: What do you think these words mean? What are they telling us?
Here is my best guess. I'm going to use each word in a sentence:

"I LIEUFED my double MNN and then the PA MIE went MIN on me."

ALSO: For the record, there are flowers and a girl printed on the shoe as well. Clues?
