Answer: It should say "out of all the shoes I have, this is my favorite pair."

Step-by-step explanation:

The noun "pair" is a collective noun, which means it's a singular noun that represents a group. To have correct subject-verb agreement, the pronoun and verb should both be singular. "This" and "is" are the singular counterparts to "these" and "are", respectively.
