Slaves did not wear sandals so maybe by giving his son sandals the father is saying he accepts his son as a son not a servant.
It seems the lost son came home bare footed maybe his feet were sore from travel and maybe the shoes made it easier for him.
Some people say the sandals represent the christian's feet shod with the gospel of peace. I think this parable is not about lost people coming to God but about the nation of Israel coming to God so the gospel of peace interpretation is not correct.

In the parable of the prodigal son, the sandal is a symbol of restoration and forgiveness. By giving his son a new sandal, the father is showing his acceptance and love for the son despite his past mistakes. It represents the son's return to the family and the father's willingness to reconcile and welcome him back.
