I definitely dig this. The first sentence could probably be trimmed considerably, maybe just “Every night when he went to bed, a new pair of shoes sat at the foot of his bed.” It’s an odd statement, makes you wonder what the author has up his sleeve, and it lets you play in the meat of the story. Anyways, I really liked this.
