Morse code on my shoes! As I mentioned this in IRC last night, I could use a little help deciphering my shoes.→[More:]

I swear I'm not paranoid. I do, however, have a pair of Doc Marten shoes. They look like this, if that's relevant.

If you squint carefully at the picture, you can just barely see what looks like some decorative dots stamped around the top back edge. Upon close inspection, the pattern turns out to be a sequence of dots and dashes. I'd be really surprised if it isn't Morse Code.

('doc OR dr martens "morse code"' doesn't help, though I did learn that another shoe manufacturer - Simple - stamps their name in Morse and semaphore on their soles.)

The spacing looks pretty even, so I'm having trouble figuring out where the letter boundaries should be. If you look at the left shoe, reading from left to right (toe to the heel), the sequence of dots and dashes goes like this:

. . . - - . . -

SMIT? SMU? IWU? EFA? SMEA? STX? GA?

If you look at the right shoe, left to right (heel to toe) it's reversed:

- . . - - . . .

DMS? TEMS? NAB? XB? DDE?

WTF?

I have a meeting coming up in a few minutes, which is good, because I've already dedicated too much of my morning to wondering about this.
