7Now in former times in Israel, concerning the redemption or exchange of property, to make any matter legally binding a man would remove his sandal and give it to the other party, and this was a confirmation in Israel.
8So the kinsman-redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.”
— Ruth 4:7-8
