Depends which shop you're in really, I've seen both. Lots of shops tend to have the more expensive ones on the wall and you have to request the matching shoe like you describe, whereas the cheaper ones are both put out with a security tag.

Have none of you noticed the button in the cuff of your dress pants??? It is there to button your pants to your shoe so that when you cross you legs your pants don't ride up your calves.

It's a spare. Some dress shirts have them tucked away by the tail. People don't seem to keep buttons the way they used to.
Wait, is this a thing? Cos firstly I need it, and then I don't understand how it'd work ...
As for the loop in the shoe, I agree with others for it to be something to hang it from in the shop

Spare buttons. Most coats also have them, usually down by the hem somewhere. Sometimes you cannot find a matching button.
Buttons and buttonholes are different sizes. Some people get upset if they cannot replace even a button to keep the garment as original as possible.

Last couple of coats and jackets I bought, the spare buttons came in little bags, put in the inside pockets. I've got a few shirts where spare buttons are sewn onto the care labels. However I've never seen buttons sewn into the cuffs of trousers. I've seen them around the waist of trousers, in case you want to use braces to hold them up instead of a belt.
Sewing on a button is something I can deal with, it's when a zipper breaks. End up having to buy a new coat.

It’s a system in the USA for attaching mated shoes together, apparently. I have this on all my women’s flats and slip ons, pretty much all pairs of shoes that don’t have laces or other loops/way to attach two shoes together. If you notice the loop will be at the arch on the right side of the sole on the left shoe, and on the left side of the sole on the right shoe. I thought it was a way to slide I ribbon through to make it like a lace up ballet-type aesthetic until I saw men’s shoes had it as well, so I went hunting for the answer.

Coming late to this party, but given the rapidity with which the Chinese factories turn out those shoes, I would not be surprised if it's a simple way that they hang them up for drying before they are packaged for shipment. All part of a mechanized overhead rack that moves through the factory from work area to work area.
Just a thought...

Maybe to help pull out the insole ?
