There is someone who did tayammum then prayed wearing his shoes; is there anything wrong with that?

Praise
be to Allah.

Firstly: 

It is permissible to do tayammum when no water is available
or it is not possible to use it due to sickness. 

An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

If water is not available, after a reasonable search for it,
it is permissible for him to do tayammum, because of the verse and saheeh
hadiths (to that effect), as well as scholarly consensus. 

Tayammum is permissible regardless whether he is certain that
he will be able to find water towards the end of the time for the prayer, or
not.                                                           

This is our view and the view of all the scholars.

Secondly: 

But if it is prescribed for a person to do tayammum, he does
not have to take off his shoes and it is not mustahabb for him to do that
either, because tayammum has nothing to do with the feet at all. 

Moreover, if he prays wearing his shoes, this is something
good and is prescribed, as is confirmed by the Sunnah. The Muslim should do
that sometimes, so as to establish the Sunnah and follow what is narrated
therein, so long as his shoes are clean and pure, especially if that is
outside the mosque or in a place where it does not matter if he wears
shoes. 

But in that case he should take care not to let that cause
any problem with the one who is unaware of the fact that this is acceptable,
or try to amaze them with that, or enter a carpeted mosque wearing his shoes
were the furnishings may be made dirty by that, or the people may not
understand why he is doing that, so that would cause some disturbance and
confusion to them.
