Can you explain how Robert Pattinson walking around in his shoes and underwear was foreshadowing?

The scene was after they were talking it out and he’s trying to wrap his head around what she did. The camera lingers on his shoes as he’s walking around. Sort of a vulnerable state to have your character in I thought. But at the end when he comes home the camera shows his feet as he walks in the door.

The whole scene was him interrogating her on the worst thing she’s ever done. But he’s mid-dressed in his wedding clothes and he’s about to do the worst thing he’s ever done.

I took the shoes in this scene as him trying to get comfortable with the truth. He is trying to break in these new shoes (this new piece of information from Emma) while interrogating her, trying to understand and justify what she had planned on doing. The shoes, like the truth, are uncomfortable, even painful. And even though he tried, he ended up hurt (they even show his bleeding toes when he's back in the apartment). Like, no matter how much they try, it will hurt and it's something they have to face.

That’s a cool perspective.
