Did you know that the shoes were supposed to be silver, but since Television had just come out in color, the red was more catchy, but it messed up the symbolism.

The whole thing was an allegory of using paper bills over gold or silver. The gold was the brick road, she wore silver shoes and it lead them to the "emerald city" or the symbolism for money.

There's a better explanation here:

Random observation:

Have you ever noticed that there are three things that give someone a "glow"?
