Why do people use a shoe horn? Well, there are two main reasons - preserving your shoes, and making it much easier to get them on!

They're often seen as 'old fashioned' - like they're something your grandma or grandpa used - but you never thought much about them. Well, here's you wake-up call. Grandma and Grandpa were on to something!

Good quality shoes are not cheap, and let's face it - some of us LOVE some particular shoes... So, if you treasure any of your shoes - a shoe horn is something you need in your life.

Shoehorns prevent the heel counter (the back of your shoe) from getting crushed when you are putting your shoes on. You should use them for any shoes that you would like to preserve and wear for as long as possible.

They also make getting your shoes on a lot easier - especially if they're elastic sided boots or any other pull-on shoe. (And for those of us who are lazy, for getting those sneakers on that you never undo the laces of... just sayin'...) This small shoe horn is perfect for most people - but if you have flexibility challenges, there are also full size shoe horns that are significantly longer.

So, pick up a shoe horn with your next pair of shoes - you'll be doing your shoes and your budget a favour - not to mention no more struggling to get them on!
