BOGOTA (Reuters) - Bungling thieves got off on the wrong foot when they broke into a shop in northwest Colombia and
stole 756 shoes -- all for right feet.

The haul of men and women's footwear, of all sizes, makes and colors, was valued at $16,583, police said Thursday.

But the robbers will not be able to sell a single pair -- all the matching left shoes had been safely locked away in a storeroom
and none had been left on display, police said.

''That merchandise is now completely useless. Who is going to buy a shoe for just one foot,'' Jorge Hincapie, manager of the
shoe store in the city of Medellin, told reporters.

The robbery took place Monday but the case only came to the attention of Colombian media Thursday.
