Thank you very much! It is solved. The documentation confused me at some points.

Short summary for users with same problems in future.

"You don't have to create subdomains or subfolders manually.", this sentence is wrong, at least in my case for sub-domains. My server catalog is not in "var/domains/main_domain.com/public_html" and I did not find it at all. In cPanel I created "sub_domain.main_domain.com" and used "main_domain.com" as folder. I believe cPanel wrote it to somewhere like "/home/USER/main_domain.com/public_html", but no additional file manipulation was necessary.
The examples of Physical URL (www.example.com/my-store) and Virtual URL (www.example.com/my-store/shoes) are confusing, in my opinion. If the installation is in "www.example.com" (which I believe is so in 99% of the cases) and the new store should appear in "www.example.com/my-store", than leave the Physical URL blank and only fill "my-store" in Virtual URL.
If the administrator is logged in, there is no need to login again for using the "Enable store for logged-in employees" feature, if it is in a sub-folder (example.com/my-store). If the additional store is in a sub-domain (my-store/example.com), a new login is necessary, using same user and password and the similar login path like initial shop (if initial shop example.com/ADMIN, then my-store.example.com/ADMIN).

If the administrator is logged in, there is no need to login again to administrate an additional store if it is in a sub-folder (example.com/my-store). If the additional store is in a sub-domain (my-store/example.com), a new login is necessary, using same user and password and the similar login path like initial shop (if initial shop example.com/ADMIN, then my-store.example.com/ADMIN).
