I thought this was gonna be a bit hard but once I unlocked the second set of levels after beating the first manager your run is extended by a few levels which allows more chance to pick up shields.
THEN make sure you do a bunch of runs until you can unlock R6.
R6 doesnt have hearts and only has shields which makes this a little easier as well.
On top of that I got lucky and had a weapon thats ability was to spawn random items for a gem or two and sometimes this would spawn a random shield.
Again, like every single one of these Rogue-Lites, this comes down to pure luck rather than skill most of the times.

I think the requirement has been changed, as it seems the maximum shields you can have is 8 and the achievement description is now "acquire the maximum shields in a run"

The achievement unlocks at 8, but you can keep adding shields after that. Can't tell if there's a true limit, as I kept adding them unless I took damage.
Edit: The limit is 16, but only with R6. I didn't realize it.
You can use the Howard Reactor (I think that's the name) to force hearts to become shields. It's also helpful for getting to Ares.

The maximum shields is also currently 8, like hearts, but unlike them, you need to pick up and maintain shields to reach the maximum. Obviously play on Easy to minimize the likelihood of being hit and losing a shield once you have some. You can also play as R-6, a robot who starts with four shields. Lastly, the item that can make this very easy is the Howard Reactor. It turns all heart drops into shield drops. You can actually buy this item as a trial from the statue right before entering the abyss, allowing you to start a run with the Howard Reactor. Now just clear out all rooms on a floor and don't pick up ANY pickups. Leave them all there until all enemies are dead. Then, go around and pick up all the shields, buy any from the shop, break open walls and open chests, etc., and you shouldn't have any problems getting four more, since the robot starts with four already.
It should go without saying, but feel free to use the Save Reload Exploit if you miss an opportunity during a later floor.
