Glasses and shoes are very different. Shoes will take care of themselves. A player will continue to play D and if a player has a chance to shoot a layup what do we think that player is going to do with one shoe on? He is going to shoot the layup! See this play all the time on TV. Play on. I wouldn't have a problem with my partner stopping play at the right time for this though. I would just play on. I know a guy who will get pissed if you stop the game for the net after a made basket because it doesn't say anything about it in the rules.
On another note, why do these shoes come off? If someone steps on the back of your shoe then I can see it but just to come off I don't see. I was a kid who loved to play outside. I loved it so much that I didn't want to take the time to tie my shoe more than once. The solution to this is to double-tie it the first time. Is it cool to tie your shoes in the middle of a game? We know they have all kinds of other stupid things that they think are cool. I still double-tie my shoes everyday. I guess I still only want to do it once!
