Dear Anon,

1. I believe this is an `open' question for now.

2. So far, it is my opinion that one should keep the shoe rack inside the house.

In my home, I keep it in away from the main entrance door. I have a shoe rack at the back of my home.

When I return home, I bring the shoes to the shoe rack at the back of the house (which is next to the waste bin).

3. This is my personal habit. Although it is quite inconvenient, I managed to do so. Don't ask me why, but this is how my family does it.

4. In Singapore, I do notice quite alot of private homes, do not leave their shoes outside the house. Perhaps they are too expensive.

5. However, I do see many people, do have shoe racks either outside (immediately outside their house) or just immediately inside their house.

6. Frankly, as there is little study on the overall effects on Qi in the home, one has to decide for yourself.

7. Some of us will always have the habbit of leaving their shoes, understandably out of convenience especially if it is a landed property.

8. For others, it is for fear of being stolen especially if expensive shoes are left out in an apartment.

9. Each of us have to make our own personal judgements.

10. Under Feng Shui, the main entrance door is like the `mouth' of the house. This is one consideration, for Feng Shui `believers'.

And this topic can be subjected to different views as it is "invisible" to everyone and secondary to Feng Shui. Where we should get our basics right first.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
