Ibn Buraida told on his father’s authority that the Negus presented the Prophet with two plain black shoes and he wore them.
Ibn Majah transmitted it, and Tirmidhi added on Ibn Buraida's authority quoting his father’s authority, that he then performed ablution and wiped over them.
Narrated Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying, “The ancient prophetical sunna (The Arabic word is fitra. Its basic meaning is the manner in which one is created. It is also used for the religion of Islam. But in this tradition the meaning is said to be the sunna followed by the prophets from of old:
circumcision, shaving with a razor, clipping the moustache, paring the nails, and plucking out hairs under the armpit.”
(Bukhari and Muslim.)
