When an object, say a shoe, falls from a height (under the influence of gravity), it rebounds after hitting the ground. For an object to move upwards, it requires a force to overcome its weight. When the shoe hits the ground some of its energy is lost and the ground pushes back with a force less than its weight, so why does it rebound, since the upward force is not large enough to overcome its weight?

Whatever the object lands on and the object itself acts as a spring and in compression the objects store elastic potential energy which comes from the downward motion (kinetic energy) of the objects.
That elastic potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy due to the upward motion of the object which was originally falling.
In general such collisions are inelastic and so not all the kinetic energy due to the downward motion becomes the kinetic energy of upward motion.
So it is the springiness of the objects which result in the force to slow the falling object down and then to exert a force greater than the weight of the object to propel the object upwards.
