Three unknown suspects stole $50,000 worth of shoes from an Ohio shoe store, including over 100 right-foot shoes without their pairs, officials say.

Sole Bros 513 in Cincinnati, Ohio, was robbed last week by unknown suspects who did not take any money or expensive pairs of shoes. The suspects did, however, steal over 100 single right shoes, along with various pairs of shoes, and other clothing and jewelry items.

"I don't know what their motive was in taking one shoe, not the pair and not the box. You can't do anything with that. You can't sell just one shoe. You usually have to sell it with the box," said store manager Luke Kern, who was informed of the robbery at 4 a.m. on Tuesday morning, to WXIX.

"After letting everything get handled, and speaking with detectives, we're finally posting footage to let social media do its work. We will continue to be open, as well as continue to try and offer the best services we can to the city. We appreciate all of the love and support during this difficult time, and we hope to come back even stronger," said store owner Hunter Emigh in a post on Facebook. "No one ever deserves to have to deal with something like this, no matter who it is. We're not going to let this stop us, and slowly restock and get things back to normal."

Sole Bros 513 is offering a reward for anyone that can provide authorities information aiding in the arrest of the suspects.
