The Complete Passuk

וְנִגְּשָׁ֨ה יְבִמְתּ֣וֹ אֵלָיו֮ לְעֵינֵ֣י הַזְּקֵנִים֒ וְחָלְצָ֤ה נַעֲלוֹ֙ מֵעַ֣ל רַגְל֔וֹ וְיָרְקָ֥ה בְּפָנָ֖יו וְעָנְתָ֣ה וְאָמְרָ֑ה כָּ֚כָה יֵעָשֶׂ֣ה לָאִ֔ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־יִבְנֶ֖ה אֶת־בֵּ֥ית אָחִֽיו׃

Then his yevamah shall approach him in the presence of the elders, and draw his shoe off his foot, and spit in his face, and respond and say: “Thus shall be done to the man who will not build up his brother’s house.”

Sefaria

Core Text of Chazal

תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: נַעֲלוֹ – אֵין לִי אֶלָּא נַעֲלוֹ; נַעַל שֶׁל כָּל אָדָם מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר נַעַל נַעַל – מִכָּל מָקוֹם.

English: Our Rabbis taught: “His shoe” — I have only his own shoe; from where do we know that the shoe of any man (may be used)? Scripture says “shoe, shoe” — from any source.

On the daf / in context: The doubled language allows the use of a shoe that does not belong to the yavam.

Type of Learning

Ribbui from the doubled noun.

What Is Learned

Chalitzah may be performed with a shoe belonging to someone other than the yavam.
