Pope Benedict XVI restored the use of the red papal shoes, which were provided by his personal cobbler, Adriano Stefanelli. Pope Francis prefers simple brown shoes and does not wear the red.
The "Papal shoes" are the shoes the Pope wears outdoors. Traditionally they were plain red Morocco leather. This is consistent with the color of the Papal Slippers the Pope used to wear indoors (which were red silk or velvet). The current Pope, Pope Francis, has chosen to wear simple black shoes, forgoing the tradition for his papacy.

No, he was the first recorded pope to shave. Under his reign beards became unfashionable.
Benedict will have to forgo the red shoes as they are only worn in the Vatican by the Pope, if he so wishes to wear them. Outside the Vatican, some cardinals do wear red shoes.
The pope's fisherman's hat is called a "zucchetto." It is a skullcap worn by the Pope and other high-ranking clergy members in the Catholic Church. The white zucchetto is typically worn by the Pope, while cardinals wear red ones.
While he was pope he wore red papal shoes, a symbol of his office. Now that he is retired and no longer the pope he wears brown or black shoes. The color has no symbolic meaning.
In the distant past, red slippers were the standard footwear worn by the popes. Today the color and type of shoe is a personal preference of the wearer. Pope Francis wears a normal black or brown shoe.
Yes, they do. They change colour and of course the new Pope gets new shoes! They change from brown to red shoes.
