Ok, 31 yards feels way too far for a thrown shoe. particularly one thrown at a chest rather than an arc. Physics would suggest that it travels half of its max distance past the halfway point between the thrower and the target, or 15.5 yards past red (if we assume the highest point of the thrown arc is halfway between red and his target). That's still a little far for missing someone with a thrown shoe, but its not quite as ridiculous.

Red steps forward and evaluates for +2
