PA Dancer said:Shoes, new: on table
Dates back to 1869 Notes & Queries states putting new shoes on the table will cause a quarrel in the household.
It didn't say where the superstition originated, but I found this website for this and other superstitions:

It says that the shoes would scratch the table.
