I still don't understand why "les" is the answer but not "ses". Please explain, thanks!

"François reste dehors, ________ chaussures couvertes de boue."
This question relates to:French lesson "Using le, la, les with body parts and clothing (definite articles)"
Asked 3 years ago
Bonjour Manda,
In this sentence, you will use 'les' instead of 'ses' as it is referring to an item of clothing (shoes) and because there are no ambiguity as to whom the shoes belong to.

I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
