Drilling ahead through an uncemented shoe

I’m looking for thoughts or actual experience of running an uncemented 7.00” liner within an 8½” hole and using open hole packers and or anchors for isolation and stabilisation of the liner and shoe. 

Then continue drilling ahead 6.00” out of the uncemented shoe of the 7.00" liner to continue drilling the next section. 

Has anyone done this and if you did could you share your experiences and lessons learned?
