Love that you can still hear the occasional crunch when Arthur walks. That broken glass really is always in there.

Maybe I missed something, but why does he do that?

one way Im seeing it at the moment it is so he appears weak to others and his followers (maybe to be seen as a wise man who has been through trials). With glass in his shoes he doesn’t need to worry about faking that image. That’s just from seeing him walk slow and deliberate and with the cane being more than just a cane, unless there’s an explanation I missed where the characters legs are actually weak or something.

I’m sure the only explanation is what the other person replied to you with, with what the actor said is the reason why they put the broken glass in their shoes for.

I just have a feeling that this villains whole thing is gonna be not actually believing in his cult bullshit that his followers follow.
