Store owner Tamara Shorrock said the July 7 theft was a real kick in the pants — losing $7,000 because she is unable to sell unpaired left shoes, according to the report.
One week after the bizarre boot looting went viral 51 of the missing shoes were mysteriously returned to the store, Shorrock said.
Gold Coast gumshoes tracked down an unidentified 49-year-old man from Mount Gravatt East who was arrested without incident on Wednesday, according to the report.
One week after the July 7 theft, 51 of the shoes were anonymously returned to the store, according to the report.

The footpad confessed to cops that he had no idea he stole solely right shoes, according to the report.
He faces charges associated with trespassing and theft.
