It doesn't make much sense to me either, since shoes are always on the floor.
Some context might help, but maybe it's asking not to drop your shoes on the floor, so you won't spoil either the floor or the shoes.
In some places "tirar al suelo" can be like "tirar a la basura" -> to throw to the garbage can, but it's not a general idea to me.
That's because for you "tirar" means they go directly to the trash.

What do you say when your children "cast", lacking a better term , their shoes onto the floor. (in Spanish)
