Mancare help

Hello,

I need help with the verb mancare and how to use it. And when does it become emotional vs physically something missing

Ti manco - I miss you

Manca sale - salt is missing

Now this is where I’m confused if I want to say my shoes are missing is it

Mi mancano le scarpe

Mancano le mie scarpe

I think the second one as the first would be emotional but that’s why I’m writing here for further help and a general guide to mancare.

Thanks in advance
