Your friend is right Anciently,
the devil was supposed to prowl
about on earth and men were afraid of being mistaken for him and maybe
assaulted before they could prove their identity The devil's left foot is
supposed to be cloven, so men would put the right shoe on first to prove
they weren't afraid to exhibit the left
