In my opinion there is 2 good ways.

The first one is to build a new website (the satellite) with the new domain which is corporate one and just deals with green shoes. You put a big call-to-action like "Buy Here" which points to the buying page of your online shop.

The second method is to point all your domain on the same server and use a canonical link to declare which website is the main.

The best way to get the maximum SEO affect is to serve the site on GreenShoes.com, redirecting greenshoes to myshoeshop.com will not gain you much for the GreenShoes terms.

With regards to handling canonical domains the Google Webmaster Blog recommended using:


Enable crawling and use 301 (permanent) redirects where possibleWhere possible, the most important step is often to use appropriate 301 redirects. These redirects send visitors and search engine crawlers to your preferred domain and make it very clear which URL should be indexed. This is generally the preferred method as it gives clear guidance to everyone who accesses the content.


Note however that doing this will effectively remove the greenshoes.com results from the index.
