Carrying one's shoes in a bag whilst making tawaaf

Q: Whilst making tawaaf, is  it permissible to be carrying one’s sandals in a plastic or cloth bag in one hand or in a shoulder bag? Otherwise, there is always a risk that the sandals would, in all most probability, go astray as has been my experience in the past.

A: Yes, it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
