Thieves broke into Clean Soles, which specializes in sales, trades and customizing sneakers, on July 20 and again Aug. 25, stealing 13 right-foot shoes, one complete pair and apparel, The Richmond Times reports.
"Unless you have two right feet," Rob Wickham, the store owner, told the Times. "(they're) pretty much risking their freedom for nothing."
While the right shoes are kept on display, he said the left shoes are kept in a room behind the counter.
A 17-year-old was arrested and charged with burglary and grand larceny in connection with the July 20 break-in, the Times reported.
When Rob Wickham puts shoes on display at Clean Soles on Williamson Road, he typically puts the right shoes on display and keeps the lefts stored away.

That didn't deter a burglar who made off with a haul of half pairs of shoes.https://t.co/pSFLw3aQeM via @JeffSturgeonRoa
