if i'm taking a pic of an object, how do i keep the whole object in focus? e.g if i'm taking a pic of a shoe, the front of the shoe is in focus but the rear end of the shoe isn't.

Small aperture and short focal length, like f18 and 24mm, will give you a deep depth of field. also focus on the middle of the shoe so your not wasting focus behind the camera.

As Adam said, the smaller the aperture (high f number) the greater the depth of field.
