Question

What is the explanation of this Hadith?

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “None of you should walk in one shoe. Remove both or wear both”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 5856 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2097)

I was informed that this Hadith means that we should not walk with mismatched shoes and it does not mean walking with one shoe only. Is this correct?
