I see this every now and then while running for as long as I can remember. One shoe on the side of the road. Is this a big practical joke I'm not in on? Anyone else notice this?

How come you use "always" to mean "every now and then"?
Usually the result of traffic accidents.
You're just not looking hard enough for the other one.
When trying to hit a runner with your shoe from your car, throwing one shoe at a time gives you a two shots.

Hardloper is a big-cranium iddiot who came on here posting "Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump!" after the election.
He is mentally challenged and hasn't even broken 1:20 for the Half.
New amputees often toss the shoe for their missing leg out of the car window on the drive home from the hospital.

Hmm makes sense, I guess that's why there's never a sock since those could be re-used for the remaining foot
you are failing to see the larger picture, i am afraid.
Just because you only see one shoe on the side of the road, you infer that only one shoe is being discarded more frequently than full pairs of shoes are being discarded.
But in fact, it is probably more likely that a large number of pairs of shoes are discarded at the side of the road, and perhaps even more so than single shoes, but (and this is the important part), when a pair is discarded, someone likely picks them up!
So, as a result, even though there are more pairs being discarded than singles, you don't see them because they have been retrieved - possibly to use or possibly to be donated to Goodwill or similar charity.
Next question, please.

Okay... but who's throwing both shoes on the side of the road? New double amputees?

Why, runners, of course! "Shoes. We don't need no stinkin' shoes!"

Can't top that.
Foot amputee makes sense. But why no single gloves for people who on way home after hand amputated at hospital?
