Hand-picked for this exact result — no generic lists.

A 'pair' is two shoes side by side, facing forward.

Measure your widest pair.
Sneakers set the spacing; everything else fits inside it.
Mind boot height.
Boots need tall tiers — measure the tallest pair.
Alternate directions.
Heel-to-toe nesting squeezes an extra pair per tier.
One in, one out.
A full rack is a system — it only works if it stays full.

One concrete case, with the assumptions spelled out.

4 pairs per tier × 3 tiers = 12 pairs.

ƒ(x)pairs = floor(rack width ÷ pair width) × tiers
