what is he doing while you are telling him to get ready. like watching tv. try shutting it off or what ever else he is doing so that he will get ready. tell him he cant do what he normaly does untill he gets ready

First, just to double check, make sure it isn't a hearing problem- as in, being physically unable to hear. I doubt that's the issue, but it's best to be safe! Take away what's distracting him. Also don't yell fifteen times- after the second time, just pick hi up and start dressing him. If all you're doing is using your voice, it won't work well- there's no consequence in voices, usually!

Get down on his level and make sure he is looking at you. Tell him what you want and then ask him to repeat what you said. Sometimes even if kids don't have a hearing problem they are so involved in what they are doing that they don't hear us.

do it yourself!! i know you need to do lots of other things other then put his shoes on but your not getting them done with all the shouting put his shoes on. soon enough he shall do it himself. askk him if he refuses then put his shoes on him telling him that is not acceptable he has to wear his shoes. make sure there is a routine in place and no distractions does he dress himself in every other way?! if yes maybe its his shoes he doesnt like
