I've found this old web series that mainly focuses on clothing destruction. Though not the main focus it would seem as there is shoeloss in some of the episodes but its hard to tell from the trailers. This clip has a short little shoeloss bit as
1:28.

Upon further research I have found that the artwork on their website (NSFW) contains a little more shoeloss if anyone is interested in digging it up.

I might look into buying a clip and updating the thread on whether or not they are worth it for our particular interests.

From a Korean movie called manhole.
Lady gets her ankle boot stuck on a manhole cover and walks out of it in her black stocking foot.

From a show called Master of Study - the very opening scene shows a girl throwing her sneaker to save another girl from being beaten up.
The one girl runs through the city in one shoe and one sock as they escape the gang.

nice find there omega, one thing i always supect is that loafer like shoes like that are quite loose, since they are just a simple slip on shoe. almost makes me wonder why we don't see more school girls in anime lose them.

Actually, if you go through enough, you find they lose them fairly frequently (though not as frequently as they pull them off to throw at people). Though, in fairness, most of the examples I have seen with loss involve significant force (being knocked over, falling down stairs, being assaulted, falling out of a swing, etc.)
The losses should be even more frequent when you consider that Japanese etiquette says you should avoid touching your shoes when you put them on if at all possible, so sooner or later the backs of nearly all pairs get mashed down into nothing and they functionally become mules.

yeah i guess you have a pretty good point there, though i wish it was shown on screen more often, ah well thats what fan works are for.

Hey everyone. Longtime lurker, first time poster. I've got a list of stuff I've been keeping over the years and I'll try to post it all when I get a chance. Most of them I just have saved locally though so I'll need to look for versions I can actually link to. FYI most of these are socks/sneakers stuff because that's what I'm into.
Woman loses her sneaker jumping on a car. (p.9) You don't actually see it initially (just her shoe hitting the road) but she's sitting in one shoe a couple pages later.
http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Freelancers/Issue-1?id=81883
Girl loses her sneaker fighting ninjas. (p.18 ) You can actually see it slipping off in the top right panel. She spends the rest of the issue without it.
http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Street-Angel/Issue-1?id=110935
An obscure comic where the main character loses her sneaker in an explosion. Never gets it back although does take the other one off eventually. (p. 14).
http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Monkeyman-and-O-Brien
Harley Quinn (not in her usual costume) loses a shoe after getting hit by the villain (p.18 )
http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Gotham-City-Sirens/Issue-1?id=26204
Injured woman missing her loafer on the cover. As far as I can tell though, that never actually happens in the book itself.
http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Justice-Four-Balance/Issue-1
Girl's shoe is pulled off by killer. (p.5) She spends the rest of the issue without it and also reappears towards the end of the next issue, still without it.
http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/X-Factor-2006/Issue-23?id=40902#1
Girl loses her flat as she's yanked away by robot. (p.10) Sadly, she has both back once she turns up again later in the series.
http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Code-Monkey-Save-World
Girl is knocked out and falls in the river at the end of the last issue. This issue she wakes up missing a sneaker. We never actually see the loss but she's in one shoe for the entire issue and a brief appearance in the next one as well.
http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/X-Factor-2006/Issue-23
Young girl has lost her high-top after being abducted by an android. This is the trailer for an upcoming game so it seems like something to keep an eye on.

I think this has been posted before but just in case: You play a party game in which a woman tosses her shoe in a pond and the man must retrieve it.

Character is swarmed by enemies and loses her slip-on shoe (p. 14) although she puts it back on a few pages later. I also believe there's a brief high heel loss right at the end of the issue.
http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Power-Girl-2009/Issue-4
It's not exactly clear where it happens but by page 17 Harley is missing a boot from fighting zombies and is without it all the way until the first page of the next issue.
http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Harley-Quinn-2016/Issue-2
Incidentally, both of those last two are by a writer named Jimmy Palmiotti who seems to have a lot of losses in his stories. I'm certain I've seen quite a few more elsewhere (although admittedly, I think a lot of those were male). In any case, it seems to happen with surprising frequency and is worth checking out. I haven't read all his stuff yet but I will eventually.
Hey, these are really good. Do you think you could tell me where any of them are from? It kinda seems like there could be more to some of them and I'd like to look them up. I recognize the second page is all from Sgt. Frog but I'm not sure about any of the other ones. Any info, even just the series name, would be really helpful.

Great list there! Incidently you posted the X-Factor comic twice. Not that I minded because X-Factor used to be my favorite comic as a kid, and it's been awhile since I read it, plus Layla wears cool striped stockings. But I am curious to know what the issue was that you left out.

I afraid I can't. Most came from Japanese Manga books (as in the actual kind from Japan) I bought, and I didn't pay much attention to which volume had what (I just would flip through, and. if there was a shoe loss scene, I bought the volume). Most of the rest came from larger "Graphic" books. The manga ones would have all been published in the Ribon Mascot series, but since that is currently something like 2000 volumes long, that isn't much help.
The one other I can identify is the top of the last page (the girl on the couch in the arms of the boy) That's from Revolutionary Girl Untena. I have found two other shoe loss pictures there (not included becuase you she is wearing sneakers, and the topic was loafer loss), one of the main character kicking off her shoes as she runs up stairs and the other of a boy pulling her shoe and sock off to look at her injured foot (the latter is in the anime as well). There is also one of the girl who is in this illustration with two different shoes (bow tie on one, band on the other) probably a drawing error.

Nice list. Its great to see more comic and video game losses here. I already knew about the Slip in for a slipper game but these scenes are completely new to me. It's a damp shame that you can't fail it completely and just have Shani go on without a shoe while she complains to Geralt about not finding it. It would be great if some PC modders made it possible to have a one shoe Shani throughout the game. Also it would be great if the game allowed you to see allowed the women who lost their shoe in the pond. Would have been awesome if you could play slip in for a slipper with Cori. It would be cool to see some make a simple mini game around shoe loss. I feel like it would be easy to make simple flash game about stealing shoes if you're familiar with the coding.
