Shoes left outside the door is a topic raised before on the Flat Chat forum and the general consensus is that residents (myself included) don’t like it because it makes the foyer look untidy. Even if you are carrying your son, surely you can kick the shoes inside the door and come back for them later.
Plus, they can be an O,H & S issue if someone else in the apartment block trips over them. Just take your shoes inside. If they are too untidy for your apartment, then they are too untidy for common property where everyone else has to look at them.
