Sunnahs and etiquettes of wearing shoes

Let us listen to some pearls of wisdom regarding putting on footwear, extracted from the book of Mawlana Ilyas Attar al-Qadiri, entitled 101 Madani Pearls:

1.   The final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, “Use footwear abundantly, for it is as though a man is riding as long as he wears them.”^[1] (This means a person becomes less tired.)

*   Dust your shoes off before putting them on, so that insects or pebbles, if any, are removed.

*   First put on the right shoe then the left.

*   When taking them off, take off the left one first, then the right.

*   The beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, “When anyone of you wears shoes, he should start with the right side. When taking them off, he should start with the left. This is so the right foot is first when putting them on, and last when taking them off.”^[2]

*   Men should wear masculine shoes and women feminine shoes.
