I suggest cropping the bottom to where the lace just anchors to the frame because I find the blurry beads somewhat distracting. Overall though a really nicely composed photo with excellent lighting.
Nice lighting and luminescence on the pearls which are in nice contrast to the matted fabric surface of the shoes - great shoes, by the way! :) I like the line of the ribbon, pearls and front shoe. I think I would take away the shoe in the background because it breaks the curvy flow.
Nice pastel tones. I like the blown out effect on the second shoe. You did a goofd job putting something which photographers most often avoid to good use. 9.
