RCMP say the footwear was found in Upper Sackville near the Tantramar River and was worn by Christopher Metallic before he was reported missing.
Metallic was last seen during the early morning hours of November 25 in Sackville.
Earlier this week the search was later called off for him after investigators looked in a number of areas in Sackville.
Metallic is described as aboriginal, six feet tall, 81 kilograms, with short dark black hair and glasses.
He was last seen wearing a shiny bright blue sweater and jeans.
