Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any one of you puts on shoes, he should begin with the right side, and when he takes them off, he should begin with the left foot, and walk wearing both shoes. In another narration it is stated: When the strap of one shoe breaks, a person should not walk with one shoe, rather he should take off both shoes, or wear both.
