Make a selection of the man with the Quick Selection tool. Don't worry about getting all of the shoes. Use the selection to make a mask and manually paint with white to get the parts of the shoes that you may have missed. Paint with black to cover any parts you don't want. (black conceals, white reveals) Screenshot 2021-03-08 165940.jpg
 
Here ya go - I added a new drop shadow and posted this as a png so you have a transparent background.
You can drop this on to any background you like.
Hope this works for you.

Change in drop shadow so he's sitting closer to the ground...

@Ally2021 - I found some errors in the masking that I just couldn't let go. Corrected both versions and attached below as transparent pngs.
My apologies for the back-and-forth.
