Detailed Solution

In the given context, the pair of shoes is a specific amount of things and so it requires a distributive pronoun.
Now, let's look towards the options.
1)      None: This word is a pronoun which is used for a group and not for a specific amount of things. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
2)      Neither: This word is a distributive pronoun which is specially used for a specific amount of things. Therefore, this option is correct.
3)      Nor: This word is a conjunction and not a distributive pronoun. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
4)      No one: This word is used for a group of people and not things. So, this option is incorrect.
Therefore, the blank should be filled by: “Neither”.
