Best Answer

This phrase derives from the title of the nursery tale The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes who is the heroine of this children's story. The story is about a poor waif who has somehow managed to make it through life with only one shoe. Finally rewarded with another, she scampers over hill and dale pointing at her feet and crying "Two shoes! Two shoes!" in so cloying a manner that her name has lived through the ages as a symbol of puerility.
