Threatened with the specter of destruction by falling shoe rack, I envisioned tying the thing to the wall for stability. The rack sellers claim a capacity of ten's of pairs of shoes, so keeping them from tumbling down would certainly be a good idea. So, the design is a swinging arm that comes down to clip on the shelf rods, thereby keeping the shelves from tilting away from the wall.
The design is print-in-place, 0.5 mm clearance. I found it to break free pretty easily, no supports required.
If I were to print these again, I would shorten the width...the hinge pin length...and print with higher infill. Because of the print orientation, I don't think the width added much to stability and the ultimate strength is determined by the lamination strength of the layers of the hinge pin, especially where it attaches to the swing arm. Hopefully if you want to print and agree with the changes, the OpenSCAD file will make it easy for you.
