Have you done much work with Layer Masks yet? That's key to compositing photos.

Do you have an example of the two pics so we can better advise you? Also is it just in the outline of the show or do you want the treads etc to show?

Hi yes

here are the two photos I was thinking of using. I think just the outline of the shoe unless that would look good I can always try it out.

First off - ensure you have permission to use that surfer image (I've used another beach image, belonging to me, in the demo below )

Then

1. Add a solid white layer below your image

2. Use the quick selection tool to select the white areas of your image

3. Add a mask to hide selection then deselect

4. Place your second image above that layer

5. Alt click on the border between the beach layer and the show layer so that the beach layer is clipped to the layer below (i.e. only shows where the layer below has pixels)
