A pair of zori in Yonezawa City.
As you can see, zori are straw sandles (or plastic made to look like straw). The person who brought these zori to the shrine is praying for good luck for something related to the feet or legs. Perhaps it was a dancer, or someone who has pain in their legs, who brought these zori to the shrine.
