More than the question of law, it is the propriety of being a good neighbour.

You have no right to create obstruction by installation shoerack in common area/stairs or block stairs.Your such act comes under purview of encroachment so remove it else owner of third floor may initiate legal proceedings/action against you.

Okay but the staircase which is going to third floor so the first few staircase belongs to second floor or third floor ?

The staircase is a common property belonging to all the members of the association.
No member can claim an exclusive rights over it and create hurdles or obstacles to other users.
It is a matter of cordial relationship with the neighbors, hence you can act wisely to not hurt other's feelings.

what ever justification you may offer but 2=2 is not 5.
You (or other floor person) are not at all in any case owner of the stair case you are only user and have no right to put any property in staircase.
I repeat the person on third floor is gentle. If he just pics up the shoe case and throws it in garbage then you have no remedy.
