I agree with Lene about "put your feet".
And maybe "your shoes" instead of "the shoes"?

Your shoes is an interpretation, not necessarily the right one

Yes, jairhaas, but I think it sounds better in English.

First of all the translation has to be as precise as possible, stylistic considerations, as important as they may be, are always secondary. They must not impinge on the correctness of the translation

If you change "the shoes" for "your shoes" I really don't think it'll affect the meaning of the translation.

Watch where you put your feet.
So take your shoes longer.

culd be better to say: pay attention to where you put your feet, so that your shoes will last longer.

a) I think that if it is about "your feet", one should logically translate "your shoes" too
b) I agree with those who suggested "put" instead of "place".
With the same meaning, for the first phrase, I have heard "Watch where you step" too
