I found that a few basic towel rails mounted on the back of my wardrobe door works for me :D heels can hang on the rails, or i slot the toe of the shoes in behind the rail. If you've got a spare wall, mounting them on a wall would be even better.... and ballet flats in labelled boxes: 'Dark Coloured Flats' (navy, black) and 'Coloured Flats' (all the other colours ;) ) .....if you need inspo, just search 'shoe storage' on Pinterest. See you in a few hours. LOL

first thought is to widen the step at the front door, add a wall attached to the extended roof and create a more sheltered porch entrance with a bench seat and place for shoes under the bench and/or in a wall hung cabinet, the first pictures shows what i think is already there this one shows my suggestion a good carpenter should be able to build something out of timber to match the existing in a few days, not especially cheap, but well worth making something to match your gorgeous new home...a quicker, cheaper option would be to have a decorative shoe cabinet on the floor on the right hand side of the front door looking out...the cabinet would be visible from outside through the window next to the front door

I love black too, high gloss could look pretty amazing with some glamorous handles, it’s an unique shape, could be a unique feature, a gorgeous little seat under that mirror to sit and take your shoes off, you could have the most glamorous shoe cabinet ever KK

A few inspiration photos for you , use led strip lighting to highlight for a dramatic effect , a corner unit could look great, to the floor or sofa height.
