It would be helpful to teach a command like 'drop' or 'leave it' so you can tell him to drop the shoes when he picks them up. To do this you should give him a toy, then offer a treat and say the command when he drops the toy. It is also very important to make sure you keep harmful things out of his reach as much as possible.
