Although, TBH,mostly all I've ever done with my looper at home is create 20 minute E minor whale song epics...

Guitarist mag had a feature and guide on how to use loopers a while back, the May 2013 issue.
I've got a Boss RC20XL, my main reason for buying it was so I could do a cheat version of Newton Faulkner's cover of Teardrop (still haven't properly mastered it yet but getting there), and an acoustic version of The End Of Heartache by Killswitch Engage. I also use the looper on my Boss VE20 Vocal processor when playing Write It On Your Skin by Mr Faulkner. It's tough to work it out to start but it does get easier.

Generally I see it as a creative device not a recreative device...
I've recorded the rhythm,bass and drums for Kashmir on it before then played Subterranian Homesick Alien over the top.
If the looper offers a click and quantises use them! that's my advice.
I do like the Uberjam approach to loops - keep them short and to the point.
You are not alone, I have a G5 with looper function and drum beat thing, I go to pieces when I have to synch the stomp.
Odd really as a use workstation and arranger keyboards with similar sequencer/looper functions and I "cope" with those.
He uses Line6 DL4s somehow. Pretty cool what he does, even if you're not a fan.
You need to practice tapping your foot along with everything you play. Your timing with your hands may be spot on but you've got to get your hands and feet totally synchronised.
When playing a loop into the looper, don't try and record the first pass - get your riff/chord progression nice and steady and don't try and 'capture' it until it is.
I find it helps to 'air' tap your foot along with the rhythm over the switch and then, when you want to hit record, just extend the tapping foot a little further to hit the switch.
