Look for the presentations online. You are not the first store to use Solr, there are some explanations around. Try one from Gilt, but I think there were more.
You will want to store data at the lowest meaningful level of search granularity. So, in your case, it might be ProductVariation (shoes+color). Some examples I have seen, even store it down to availability level or price-difference level. Then, you do some post-search normalization either by doing groups or by doing filtering. Solr is not a database, store what you want to find. Regards, Alex.
