nice shots. I like #1 the best. I think that #1 and #3 need a little contrast ( atleast on my laptop screen they look this way ) maybe just a minor levels adjustment. #3 looks like it has a very slight color cast to it, yellow I think and could maybe use a very minor exposure tweak.
As for #2, decent shot, nothing fancy, but overall good. I agree about the shoe being clipped. I have like some big pet peeve about that, so it may be just me. Once I notice it, I can't STOP noticing it. haha
