Both for the same foot and an unmatched pair?
Does "both for the same foot and an unmatched pair" mean "(usually we wear a left shoe and a right shoe, and they are a matched pair. Now Buchalter's feet were wearing two left shoes (or two right shoes) and the two shoes were not matched"?
Context:
On September 2, 1915, Buchalter was arrested in New York for the first time for burglary and assault, but the case was discharged.[5] When arrested as a child for breaking and entering, he was wearing stolen shoes, both for the same foot and an unmatched pair.
