Break up because of shoes?

There are a lot of weird superstitions involving the giving and receiving of gifts. However, I was raised in a religious family and taught not to believe in superstitions. All the things that happened to people are probably just coincidence and people strive to make connections.

One of them, which I always heard from friends is never buy your man a pair of shoes, or he will walk out of your life forever! A few friends of mine bought shoes to their partners as a gift and ended up they were no longer together. What the..?!?! Could this be a connection or is it just a coincidence?
