With regards to the Yugioh series's, beyond the shoe loss already mentioned earilier, it suddenly occurs to me that there is in fact another (though admittedly lesser) example that is interesting. I am thinking of Yubell, the bad guy(girl) monster from the second to last season of Yugioh GX. In the form she is show in on screen, as part of her rather asymmetrical look, she has one foot that is human (which is wearing a high heeled boot) and one foot that looks like a bird's talon. So she is tecnically only wearing one shoe all the time. Though is supposed some might argue it doesn't count when the character doesnt have two human feet.
This bring up an interesting subsection, that in some ways is the opposite of shoe loss, cases where the indivdual is wearing only one shoe ON PURPOSE. I'm not so much referring to those cases where the individual has removed one or both of thier shoes for some reason, but the small number of images where it is obvios that the outfit the character is wearing was designed with only one shoe. Usually this occurs with some of the "mismached" costumes. Danbooru has a suprising number of these

I'm also incuding the below as an honorary, sine while the girl does have two shoes, the extreme difference in heel height means that the costume would be as illogical as the one shoe ones above

In other anime lookovers, while I don't have time to track down all of them, there are a lot of one shoe pictures of Stocking (Of Panty Stocking and Garterbelt), probably because she does have to take her stockings off to turn them into swords. Though as far as I can tell, in the actualy anime, (what I have seen of it.) Stocking usually, if never, takes her shoes off; her stockings have no bottoms (so I supposes she is Techically Legwarmer) and she simply pulls them off over her sandals). And youd think even if she did have to take her shoe off, she'd remeber to put it back on. I'm incuding one link simply because it makes fun of the illogic of the situation.

I also remebered another anime shoe loss scene. In one of the later episodes of Fooly Cooly, one of the sodiers has one of her boots blown off by a bomb. The scene in the anime is brief but I found this fanart of the character

and a fanart from Eureka 7

And finally this one, with a creative reason why one would want to remove thier boot.

There actually is an actual loss in both Panty and Stocking and FLCL, but they are both offscreen and minor, so I never bothered posting them.

Nice, thanks. Although it doesn't look like that spider-man link worked. What issue was it?

The Durarara episode with the boot loss was on again last night on Adult Swim. It's actually a bit odd; I keep thinking that if her boots were so loose that one of them would fall off when she was caught, they be too loose for her to walk in without slipping off her feet (especially if you consider that prior to this she was kidnapped and went through several other situations where she would have lost her boots if they had been that loose). I could sort of understand the other way (one of celty's shadow tendrils grabs her boot, but her inertia while falling causes her foot to pull out of it, so Celty has to send down another one). but as it stands, it's a little counter intuitive.
Speaking of Adult swim programs, Bleach has a few shoe loss scenes as well. There was an episode way back (in the #50's I think) with a bird that was the reincarnation of a little kid, and when you see his flashback of when he and his mother were killed, his mother has one of her slingbacks knocked off in the struggle. The small blond haired Vizard is also often shown in one flip flop, since she likes to knock people over the head with the other one. There is going to be an episode (it hasn't shown yet on AS) where Soifon is going to kick one of her slippers off to keep from her foot rotting (after it is hit by an Arrancars attack). Finally in the opening credits of the episodes currently being shown, in the "cheesecake" pictures of the Soul Reapers one of them (Nemu I think) is shown with one of her sandals off (her legs are out of shot, but you can see her empty sandal above her head) (1:12)

for reasons I'm not sure off there are also a suprising number of fanart pictures of Cirucci Sanderwicci taking her boots off (this seems to be the original most of the others are re-draws of this)

In my own fanfic there is also a brief scene where Orihime has one of her school shoes stolen by Captain Komamura who fails to realize some of the effects of using a dog (or in actual fact, wolf) gegai in the real world

That's OK dude; every little bit counts. I still have a few more I remeber off the top of my head, yet I don't remember where they are from, sadly.

Drawn Together Near the beginning of the episode "Breakfast Cereal Killer" Two children are shown eating cereal on a tablecloth. A cartoon duck then show up asking for some cereal (parodying the Trix commercials) when the kids refuse the Duck beats the girl up then hits her over the head with a milk bottle, . When you see her in the next scene one of her mary janes has fallen off (00:16)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSceJR5ciBE&feature=related
actually there were quite a few shoe loss/removal scenes in this cartoon series. There was an epidsode where Toot kicked on of her pumps off on her way into the house (the one with the adopted baby, I think) and another where she lost one which dropped into a swimming pool of acid (in a retirement home) one of the other episodes had a bit near the begining as well where Foxxy had one boot off becuse ome of the other characters (Wooldor, I think) was licking her foot becuse he thought she was made of chocolate.
