WHOA!!!!! MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!
One minute you are telling us that you would not stop the game (even if the ball was dead and in the official's hand) if a shoe is untied, but you WILL stop a live ball play just because a shoe comes off of a foot?
And no, it is not the same as an injury, and I don't think that the shoe will become broken to a point where it can't be worn after replacement at the next legitimate stoppage of play.
