This was a fun one to read. I don't think the word "nary" is used nearly as much as it ought to be nowadays. :)

I liked your cinquain, but I'm not sure if your verb phrase works. It seems more like a prepositional phrase to me.

That's pretty easily remedied though. It seems you wanted to give the shoe some sort of action, i.e. is on either stout foot .

Now you get to come up with a fun verb though. Here are my recommendations for what the shoe can be doing:

to cling to either stout foot
to weather the steps of either stout foot
to shine beneath the dance hall lights

It's nice to read a poem that expands ones vocabulary. There verb phrase also seems like a prepositional phrase.
