The answer

The bottom of the shoe is purified by rubbing it on the ground, and the impurity adhering to it falls off, making it permissible to pray in it. Similarly, the earth and the dust on it become pure through dryness. It is advised not to delve deeply or be overly meticulous in this matter to avoid falling into obsessive doubts (waswasah).
