Is the meaning of these sentences below the same?

1) I put on my shoes.
2) I wear on my shoes.
3) I have on my shoes.
 
The second is incorrect.

The first and third are correct, but do not mean the same.

That's a typing error. I mean, I wear my shoes.
Could you explain to me more about the differences?

Yes, they are the same.
But in British English we would probably say, (spoken) "I have got my shoes on. "
"I put on" means I am in the act of putting them on. Not in the act of wearing them.
 
"I put on" means I am in the act of putting them on.
No. "I'm putting on my shoes" would mean that.
"I put on my shoes" is in the present simple, so it can be used to talk about a person's daily routine, for example.
