A shoe in the hand is worth 2 in the bush?

Irrelevant. It's not being worn/used in the manner that it was intended for. Can't play that way.

But the ncaa rules we're discussing (3-7-8-& 3-7-5) say nothing about equipment beng worn or used in the manner it was intended. As M&M says a shoe is perfectly appropriate for basketball, the only question left to answer is did the player using it gain an unfair advantage.

If the shoe did not extend his reach you could argue that what he did is legal.

I just read BITS' post & I agree with what he's saying.
