Player loses his shoe!

Eh, I'm ambivalent on this one. I may have had this once in the last 8 years (and it was just last week). I stopped it, nobody said anything, and both teams had subs waiting to enter. I really didn't think twice until I saw this thread today.

Same here. No one minded that I stopped play. Gave the kid a chance to get his shoe on and we started again with OOB throw-in closest to where they had the ball when I blew my whistle. I guess you could argue that a kid on the floor with just one shoe constitutes an unfair advantage for the other team?
