In think the shoes referred to in this song are most certianly the iconic platform stilletos that exotic dancers wear. Take the last verse for example.
"They wanna get your hands on you. You get whatever you choose. Oh no, you can't do that once you started wearin those shoes."
Obviously as a stripper men want to put their hands on her and she can't say no because of her occupation. And the "tablets of love" are likely date rape drugs, which men often try to give to dancers. She "wants her independence but doesn't know where to start." She may feel that she cannot do well in the world outside of the club. And, in her spare time, she goes to singles bars but no one takes her seriously because "oh no, you can't do that, once you started wearin those shoes."
The "tall drinks and the drama" describe the atmosphere of a gentlemens' club very accurately.
They also ask what she's going to do "in those shoes." Sounds to me like a very specific type of shoe.
