String shelving doesn't have adjustable feet.
I ordered machined discs from ebay then used super strong 3M double sided tape (vs string's own leg extenders that I linked above).
You can get these discs in varying thicknesses.

I installed mine using a spirit level and a few beer coasters under each foot until it was level… with the intention of removing the coasters when everything was level and drilled and replacing with something else.
so far the coasters are still there

My shelves aren't level.
I could place a tennis ball on one side and it would roll immediately and with speed. The floor is sloped so badly in this Victorian house that on a 60cm wide shelf the left hand side is 1-2 cm lower in height 🙄
So... adjust the feet or legs! Nope, String shelving doesn't have adjustable feet.
The answer then is a platform for the feet to stand on. The feet are 30mm wide, and it so happens that you can buy stainless steel washers that are precisely 30mm wide and that have a hole just fractionally larger than 8mm in the middle.
Those numbers are magic... because the washer is the width of the feet, and I can shove a standard bit of 8mm dowel in the middle to turn a stack of washers into a block platform.
This is my next minor thing to solve.
On the major thing to solve... the Humanscale Float desk from John Lewis has an issue, the brackets that hold the worktop were manufactured incorrectly and don't fit. So now I have to go through support to get new ones. What is annoying is that I could fix this myself by cutting the brackets a little but it would void warranty, etc.
