You should kill it for a brief "equipment repair" official's timeout. If the kid can't get his shoe on in 20 seconds, send him off and get a sub. Handle it the same as a helmet issue.

The OP reads as if the player makes no attempt to put his shoe on, throws it to his side line and lines up for the next play. This is no different than not wearing a mouth piece and should be a foul prior to the snap.

3-6-2d ... Failure to properly wear legal or required player equipment when the ball is about to become live. Penalty: Delay of Game (S7-S21-S23)
