**I have seen that too that athletes and even the cricketers wear alternate colour shoes on each foot but let me tell you one thing it’s not a rule neither it’s a compulsion to wear alternate colour shoes on each foot it is just a fashion trend which is been followed by the sportspersons.**

**I saw different colour shoes in the IPL for the first time when the player who is known as 360 degree AB Devilliers wore it in a match against Mumbai Indians.** Since then the trend got so popular and those different colour shoes could be seen in feet of so many players.\
