When Christy is chasing Ike, she loses her shoes and leaves them behind. However, after catching and directing Ike to the news building, Christy is seen entering the building and putting her shoes back on, though she never returned to retrieve them.
However, as the news building is across the field from where Christy tackled Ike, it is likely she retrieved her shoes on the way as she ran to the news building. She wouldn't have stopped to put her shoes back on while running in the grass, but waited until she was on solid footing just before entering the building.

The people working for the cable news network out of Chicago are trying to urge the governor to pardon "Ike", even to go as far as on a newscast to urge Springfield to listen. At one point the governor tells his aides he will grant the pardon and wants time on the 11 o'clock news. Chicago is in the central time zone; the governor should have asked for time on the 10 o'clock news.
