 Probably an ice breaker, it's better to compliment a girl for something other than her looks I.E 'I like your necklace' or 'Those shoes are great' lol
I'd say it's an opener.....did her speak to you after that? or was that the only thing that he said??

 He may have just liked your shoes and wanted to say so. There doesn't have to some kind of ulterior motive.

 Chances are it was meant to be a general compliment to you. It's more of an innocent one that doesn't run the risk of you immediately thinking he has other motives. Of course he may just have liked the shoes. There are tons of guys now who are into shoes.

 It's a pick up line, surprised you never heard it before? It goes like this: man gives random compliment to start a conversation, woman gets charmed, and seduction has begun.

 Even though it is 2011 and the perception is that one person does not talk to another without having some objective - there are people in this world that still pass compliments just for compliment's sake.
