how do you recommend avoiding that? i only have the internal flash so i tried to soften it with a napkin in front of it
In this case it is a very "flat" image because it is so evenly lighted from a head-on strobe, not to mention the reflection off the leather.
I would use an external light source(s) (desk lamp or something) for your lighting and not the strobe. You will probably have to play with your white balance because the lamp lights are very "warm". Experiment with the angle of the lighting on the shoe... Try to heavily light one side and reflect some of that heavy light on the shadowed area with a white card/wall (or lesser light source).
A tripod for your camera and aperture around f16 for a deep DOF.
I know it is a lot for a picture of a shoe but it will help you get a good understanding of product photography.
