Left behind: Thieves raid Virginia store of right foot shoes

ROANOKE, Va. � Try walking a mile in these shoes.

The Roanoke Times reported a Virginia shoe store lost mostly shoes designed for the right foot over the course of two break-ins this summer.

Clean Soles operator Rob Wickham said his two-year-old sneaker store was raided by two people July 20 and by one person Aug. 25. Taken together, he lost shirts, hoodies, a jacket, one complete sneaker pair � and 13 right shoes.

Wickham said he typically keeps right shoes on display, while their other halves rest behind the counter. Accordingly, Wickham said the looters were �pretty much risking their freedom for nothing.�

Roanoke County police spokeswoman Amy Whittaker said one 17-year-old has been charged in the July burglary. Police have also released video of the Aug. 25 burglary.
