Of his own making? That is not always the case. I may not remember it correctly but I thought in the KU-Mizzou game the KU player lost his shoe due to it being stepped on. Players can lose shoes through no fault of their own.

Ask your self this: why should we allow a disadvatage to a team not contemplated by the rules because a player was unfortunate enough to lose a shoe?
