Hmm. now I think of it, I think you're right. Whenever I go shopping with my
girlfriend we end up moving from one shoestore to another...

Maybe 1x1 tiles in brown and black? A minifig foot is about 1 plate high,
strangely they wear shoes in the same colours as their pants...

I did that too, my 'racks'  1xN plates where the 'neck' of a torso is stuck
into. As window display a torso and hairpiece looks okay.

I plan to make a jewelry  shop using the gems from Belville and the crystals
like in the rock raider sets. The small glass domes make great shopping
window material!
Another idea is a money machine (I dunno the english word for it but I think
they're called ATM machines?)
Record store (make little posters of minifig rock-idols!)
Arcadegames gallery (minifig size pinball machines!)
Foodstore/supermarket
Sports store (it could sell footballs and if you figured out how to make
shoes it could also sell sportshoes...)

I did one: http://members.brabant.chello.nl/~f.buiting/lego/town/outlet.html
the stickers that come with the soccer sets are great for this!
