Ben's Mom

Corrected entry: When John Bender (Judd Nelson) is in the gym shooting hoops and the teacher (Dick) comes in, Bender is wearing a white tennis shoe on his left foot and a black boot on his right foot. His white shoe comes off and is left in the gym so he's then only wearing one black boot on his right foot. The next time you see him and for the rest of the movie he is wearing black boots on both his feet. Where did the left black boot come from?

Correction: Watch the movie from the beginning. Bender arrives by foot, wearing his own, dark, shoes. Bender most certainly found the white shoe in the boys' changing room on his way to the gym. Remember the opening scene even shows that there're sneakers and apparel left on the floor.

Correction: Watch closely when Bender tries to get around Dick (excuse me, Rich) to leave the gym and return to the library. He makes a "fake out" sort of move, toying with the teacher, and picks up his second boot and jacket as he does so.
