This is exactly what I needed for my growing shoe inventory.  Although it's 10-tiers, you don't necessarily have to assemble everything at once.  I currently have mine set up with 8-tiers, and I like knowing that I can add more when needed or that I have replacement parts if I accidentally break through the fabric or bend a metal rod.   One thing to note is that this shoe rack is meant for lighter footwear (tennis shoes, sandals, flip flops, and most heeled shoes).  The rods are hollow in the middle , so there is more room for the rods to bend.  If you have more heavy footwear, I would recommend placing them on the lower tiers and more towards the ends to help anchor the shoe rack and reduce the likelihood of the rods bending too much.
