aggresive blue orpington rooster

I have a buff orpington rooster, 44 weeks old, with 1 BO pullet and 1 Cochin pullet (both not laying) of the same age. I always take their feed to their container near their coop, and they always meet me at the kitchen door and accompany me on the 35 yard walk over. The Rooster decided recently to jump at me while I was bringing the food to them. I shouted "no" a few times and tried to stroke him with my free hand (the other hand had the feed in) and he calmed down and I continued to take the feed to the container and put it in for them.
A few days went by and he seemed to be back to his docile self, but today he started again. Pecking at my shoes, fluffing his feathers up, jumping at me, and I shouted "No! No! No!" loudly at him and continued walking towards the coop where I leave their food. He kept running round and standing in my way and trying to peck at my shoes and jump at me. He even jumped and lost his balance and fell on his side ( i was rather concerned he'd hurt himself until he took another jump at me!)
I noticed today I am wearing red shoes. Could it be the red shoes that are upsetting him?
People say to pick up a rooster and carry him around. I have no idea how to pick him up. He runs away from me if I try. The closest I can get to him is to stroke his back and he sort of curses at me when I do it.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Walk 'through' him, never around. Make a point of walking through him and make sure he always gets out of your way. Keep yourself upright, carry a stick (wand, whip, whatever you want to call it) and use it to extent your reach; touch him to move him further out of your way. He doesn't need petting, he needs to think that you are dominant, and a bit dangerous. It's not the shoes, it's his decision to challenge you, and your decision to get him over it, or be hurt. Mary

@Folly's place Thank you Mary. He only seems to challenge me when it's feeding time. I'll take a broom with me to keep him at a distance. I read your replies to other people about walking through him and found it difficult when he stood right in front of me, But a long handled broom should help push him out of the way so I can continue marching toward the coop without being stopped by him.

Plan to march through him at every opportunity! He will find more ways to be difficult, and you will need to 'read' him so you're ready to act first. Mary
