There is a lot of noise and jpeg artifacts in this photo. I think the idea was not a great one. DOF is wrong. Either more or less would be better. Lighting is very flat.
I fine this image to be very unispired (though i do appriciate that you actually went out and looked for shoes).
There are more dinamic ways of presenting rows of shoes so to interest the audience. For example looking at the rack of shoes from straight ahead but angling the camer so it appeared that the shoes were all on an upwards slope.
So so. Shoes could've used a little more lighting. A black piece of fabric on the floor (bottom left corner) might've helped add contrast. Then again, maybe it just needs a little cropping or a border. Hard to say.
Sorry but there is just too much going on in this shot for me to like it at all. If I might give a suggestion it would be to use a bigger aperture next time to try and divert my eye towards just a couple of the shoes, as it is now my eye just wanders all over the place... 4 from me.
