Save it. Any muslim that has ever made Zikr using only their fingers knows all about counting in sequence ;-)
You, on the other hand have spent several days trying to work it out, doubtless having to resort to using google and perhaps wikipedia, before posting :-P
try Quinary (base-5), then you can count much higher, and you won't even have to take your shoe's off.
You might also want to go back to said sources of information learn how to use the apostrophe correctly :-P
Hint: which item or items belonging to your shoes are you suggesting it would no longer be necessary to take off?
