What is the correct order for putting on and tying shoes — specifically, which shoe first for donning and which for tying?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules: put on right first (without tying), then put on left and tie it, then return to tie the right. The Rema adds that for shoes without laces (as in Ashkenazic practice), one simply puts on the right first. There is discussion about left-handed persons.
