The shoes worn on the street are stained with five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which are usually messy, so they are only suitable for being placed near the gate that frequents. If you put your shoes around, the "bad breath" outside will enter the house with your shoes, which will directly affect the luck of the people inside. So it's best to add a shoe cabinet at home and put all the shoes in the cabinet, so that the bad magnetic field can't be released casually.
For the home with the door facing the corridor, the shoe cabinet can also be used as a screen to prevent suffocation from rushing in through the door. As for new shoes that haven't been worn on the street, or slippers for indoor use, it's no problem to put them anywhere in the house. Therefore, if considering the space problem, you can put a small shoe cabinet at the entrance of the porch, only put the shoes that are changed daily, new shoes or shoes in the season, wipe them clean and put them in other parts of the room.
Shoe cabinets are usually of multi-layer design. From the perspective of geomantic omen, it is best for the shoe cabinet to be five stories high, because it represents the coexistence of five elements. It is not a big problem that the shoe cabinet is less than five floors, and it is a big taboo to exceed this floor. Because shoes belong to soil, they should be "down to earth". Putting shoes too high will affect the wearer, and it is easy to sprain and fall when walking. Furthermore, shoes represent "foundation", which is stable and helpful for career development.
