Nice, though technically Momji's loafer should be mashed down in the back like pretty much every worn out shoe in Japan (because it is preferable in Japan to not touch your shoes when you put them on, most well worn "around the house" shoes tend to get backs that are mashed down, so they can just be slipped on) It is that way in the anime.

That's probably why their shoes come off so easily.

That's ceartainly a big part of it, Another part that actually comes from that tradtion is that (at least when you are talking about around the house qiuck errand, it is considered to be OK to use any aviailable pair, whether or not they are acutally yours (seeing a 50 year old Japanese man running to the corner store wearing his wife's slip on heeled mules is not at all an uncommon sight in Japan, not is it considered at all odd (unless, as my copy of You Know You've Lived In Japan Too Long.... points out tyou decide to paint your toenails first 
) I suspect it all comes from the period of Japanese history up until around the Meji Revolution where pretty much the only kind of shoes ANYONE wore in Japan were slip on sandals of one kind or another. I also personally suspect the "no hands if you can help it" tradtion also explains why the shoe of choice for school uniforms is the loafer with variants of the mary jane a second for younger grades as opposed to the west (where there is a pretty even split between loafers, basic tennis shoes/sneakers oxfords and flats of some sort) The fact you can put a loafer on by slipping it on and adjusting it actually can be done with a tap of the toe or a single finger (read, no laces to tie) probably is considered a plus (even if you do take them off as soon as you get to school and put on your school shoes (those fabric and elastic things you see in anime).

Unless my eyesight is crooked is a weird way without me knowing, she has a shoe on her left foot and a bare right foot.

Can you upload it somewhere else? I tried downloading and got a link to this shady putlocker installer.
mediafire is a better choice.

I probably posted this before (I honestly don't remember) but I found a youtube link to one of the two boot losses from the old cartoon The Perils of Penelope Pitstop. The first one of them (the one where she pulls her feet out of her boots to shed a rope is probably well known on this forum, since a lot of us have seen the stills of it on Toodeboot. The second one (the one I am posting here) is mentioned there, but the mention is hoplessly garbled (for one thing, it refers to the wrong episode, and then mentions a secenario that does not actually happen to try and reconcile the loss the person seems to remember (from the next episode, the one below) with what they remember of that one. The loss is around 1:49, and in true cartton logic, she has both boots back the next time we see her feet despite 1. he hands are still tied, so she couldn't have grabbed it again and 2. she has flown up into the air and drifted some distance, so her boot (along with anything else on the ground, should now be a fairly long distance away.)

Few others
Tiny toon Adventures, "A Whale's Tale" (appx 10:00)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6atkm1U-Vw
Weekend Afternoon Live (9:04) (not an actualy loss, but the front half of one of her shoes is blown off)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-OXx8InX8A
UPDATE
Another one (too new to have link yet)
Dan Vs. "Dan Vs. The Common Cold". There is a scene around 2/3 of the way through the episode where the episode villian (and ex supermodel) takes off one of her black pumps to threaten Dan after he breaks into her apartment. There is a shot of her in one shoe, but it is far angle so not really good (you can see that one foot is black and one flesh toned, but no detail) and by the next time you see her feet she has both shoes on again (which is odd, as she just actually did throw one of them)

I seem to have found links to the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends losses that were mentioned earlier in the thread.
Regarding the Power Rangers losses, I think I may want to look for more shoe losses from tokusatsu. Maybe from Super Sentai, which is the source material that Power Rangers gets the fight and Zord footage from.
I also find it weird that there have been no shoe losses in the main Pokémon anime in the 16 years it's been running. There have been some scattered ones in the various manga (a couple I posted in the male loss thread I started); and fan art often involves losses with the characters from the games. Heck, the Great Marsh in Diamond and Pearl would seem like a place where shoe loss would happen a lot (as it is a marsh, there's plenty of waterlogged mud that could suck off a person's shoe). Instead, it often envelops your entire player character (you pop out after a few seconds of wiggling the d-pad on the DS).
One last thing-Mrx, I'm sorry things have been slow lately, but a lot of us have school, work, or both; so this is just for recreation. If I may, this thread is 40 pages long, and you may find something that pleases you. I often go back to the earlier parts of the thread to see all that's there.

There is also the fact that, if I recall, in Gold and silver the game occasionally says that a pokemon who you haven't yet maxed the happiness of is chewing on your shoe (there were some fairly funny arts of that as I recall, given how big some of the Pokemon are and how savage thier teeth are (read, biting you foot off). You'd think that that would mean every now and again, one of those pokemon would actually manage to pull your shoe off (I've seen 1-2 arts of this, but no official)
The closest I can think of to "official" one shoe Pokemon art is the "hugging pillow" art I posted earlier of Katsumire and the other femal gym leader. That's official Pokemon merchandice so presumably it would have had to get approval.
On a side note, I expect some semi-decent chances from the next generation. I've seen some of the fanart for the upcoming Pokemon XY on danbooru, and it seems that at the moment no one is quite sure waht kind of footwear the female protagonist is going to get officilally. A few have given her the sneakers that we are used to for the lead character (most of the female protagonists we have had so far have worn sneakers, or high boots) but quite a few are guessing she will have slip ons or mary janes (good for shoe loss) and I have seen at least art that suggests that she may actually get high heeled pumps.
