Well a silly question to ask, shall we consider *shoes * as singular or plural? I would say that it is plural for it has a singular form shoe.
But then why do we write Either my shoes or your coat is always on the floor ?

When the subjects joined by (Either-or), (Neither-nor) are of different persons, the verb will agree in person and number with the noun nearest to it. Also, the plural subject must be placed nearest to the verb. Ex.-Either Radha or Rani has done this mischief. Neither Mohini nor Ragini is beautiful. Here coat is singular so only 'is'is used.
