Probably not applicable with a trawler, but some people insist that people remove their shoes prior to boarding a boat.
Were the shoes wet inside? Very uncomfortable to walk around in wet boots, was she offered a warm pair of socks to change into, or even plastic bags to put on her feet?
Again, not likely, but the alternative reasons for leaving boots behind are unpleasant.
A message- taking a different path in life, leaving the old one behind?
To let people know where she is, just in case?
Staged, by someone to show she is gone, or perhaps entered the water?
speculation, imo.
Hoping Birna is found, safe and sound.
