I treated it like you were stretching welded/wire fencing!
Had two scrape board ; one with a bull nose edge for the bend, the 2nd plank was wider and longer than the first only an inch. You could clamp or use screws which I did to sandwich the shoe rest between the scrap wood. This allowed to me bend against the board holding the toe part on the floor . _ //. I could put screws between the wires and the bull nose soften and evenly bent the wire.
I could flip it and bend against the shoe rest for the angle I wanted.

Hey I love this idea for a shoe rack, I had difficulty at first with the bending as my pregnant wife couldn't help too much (but that's ok), what I ended up doing was taking a 2 x 10 and 1 x 3 strapping and screwing the rack to the edge of the 2x10 and the 1x3 was perfect as you need to be 3 inches from the end. A little heaving up on it ripped it past the 90degree mark and close to the recommended 110. Great idea and I love it on my wall...
