Quick related question here: I noticed the answers you guys have given use the subjunctive mood. Is this because there exists some doubt in the sentence? As in, the speaker is unsure if the shoes fit well?
If this is so, could caben replace quepan if the speaker wants to indicate that he or she is almost positive the shoes do fit, due to some previous knowledge that he or she has (such as shoe size, etc... maybe the speaker bought the shoes for whomever he or she is speaking)?
Thank you, Mitchell

What subjunctive? These answers are in the present indicative. - gintar77, Aug 4, 2011
Caber is the wrong verb here. Caber means to "fit inside" something. - gintar77, Aug 4, 2011
The verb we are using is "quedar". - gintar77, Aug 4, 2011
Oh, you're right... quedan not quepan!! But, why "quedar" (to stay, to remain) - MitchellSalad, Aug 4, 2011
Look at definition #6 of quedar in the SpanishDict dictionary. - gintar77, Aug 5, 2011

If this is correct, I have never heard it. I would say:
Te quedan bien los zapatos. or Te sirven los zapatos.
