We need help identifying this brand of shoes.

It’s not quite Mickey Mouse, but that’s what I thought of first.
I found another Mickey / club / trefoil in the bottom left. Sharpened and circled in the attached photo. I think it's pretty common design for tread, so it might not help, but I tend to think the "heart" is really another one of these.

Good eye. I too am in the camp that thinks the 'heart' on the right is actually the flipped image of the one on the left, so 3 overlapping circles. You can see the indentation between the left and bottom circle, and barely see it on the right side where they intersect. I think it's there but hard to make out.
 
There are quite a few shoes that have words on them, but most of them had the words nearer to the arch area because that doesn't get as much wear. (Puma and Reebok did this) I wish the imprint wasn't cropped. Seeing even a half inch further out would be helpful as to the shape of the shoe. The fact that the letters are so clean indicates newer shoes, or if the image is inverted from what I see, deep letters cut into the soles. What I see in the logo shape is like a stylized fox holding it's arm up in a fist (like "strength"). One you see that "cloud" though it's hard to unsee it. My initial thought was some kind of after ski boot, "barefoot" shoe, or boot tread (not hiking), but I need a better view of the tread. If this is all there is, that is a shame.

Do you think that "A" could be the top of a pyramid. I notice a triangular line there that go down on both sides on your image. Finally remembered the word for the clovers. Shamrocks. Shamrocks was the word I was looking for the other day. Odd thing to put on a shoe though.

The path I diverted down is Maya Writing/Script/Glyphs/Hyroglyphics due to my belief the word is CALZADO (Spanish for Footware) and the symbols appear to be Mayan to me. Apparently you put the various shapes together to make words. It's their form of the alphabet.

There's actually so many elements of an earlier post. Maybe yours? I'll screenshot it and circle them.
 
I Goog'ed 'does Mexico use the greek key pattern' and found this:

The Greek Key in the Ancient Americas​

In the next leg of the Greek key journey, the pattern shows up in Central America around 900 BCE. The world is still a place where communication between disparate geographies—Central America, Greece, China—is unlikely.

So, the pattern may not have been passed from one of these cultures to the other, but somehow there it is in Mexico, at the Mitla ruins from 900 BCE.

ETA - This is tying in the CALZADO (Spanish for Footwear) Mexico thing for me.
I see elements circled. Of course, I managed to choose lilac

Perhaps then could it be a non American brand name shoe? If they are from playing card symbols I can perhaps see American brand name but the other types of shapes IDK then maybe non American brand. I'm just saying because if CALZADO is Spanish for footware then it may mean something or may not. But I tend to see the Air Jorfan connection although the female footware makes sense also. I realize its hard to tell in an in the image but to mea the shoe size doesn't seem like a size 13 womens. It looks like its on the smaller side if it is womens. But if its mens then a smaller sized mens shoe as opposed to a size 13 mens. IMO I think these things have to be determined as well if we are trying to get a picture of what or rather who this shoe is representing. But I think we can determine many aspects of who this shoe is representing if we investigate further and it will come together.

To me that image is shamrock-ish, but not close enough so I ruled it out early on. All the shamrock images I've seen aren't 3 overlapping circles. They have an indentation in the top middle, and a stem. Even if you took the stem out of the equation the shoe image doesn't have that indentation in the middle of the circles. Plus, there's more of a dip between the 3 petals where they meet. Our sole image doesn't dip in like that where the circles meet. So for me, I've ruled that out. JMO. :)

When I first looked at the image, my initial reaction was Mayan. It reminded me of the me of the writings and symbols found on Mayan ruins.

I‘ve also looked at tons of shoe imprint images and couldn’t find anything similar.

I just wanted to report that since early on I was looking at hundreds of soles with CA in the title on ebay (since I thought the writing said CA LAOG or LADG)... I have now looked at soles with Maya in the title, as well as those with Calzado, since I've changed my mind about what I now think is on the sole (now believed to be Calzado). I came up with zip. :(
