It’s good but..
4 Stars
It’s good but..
I got some new dress shoes for work that are murdering my heels, so I put these gel pads in them and got this shoe horn to help me get my foot into the shoe without scraping the gel pad. It works but it seems too narrow and I have pretty narrow feet. 4 stars for the fancy design at a cheap price. The leather makes it look real nice and it comes with a carry case bag (not sure why really lol) but it’s still fairly narrow. But the shape as I mentioned I don’t love.Pros:1. It’s cheap and very sturdy, I tried bending it and couldn’t2. The leather part and the carrying case keeping it classy.Cons:1. The shape is narrow and steep. I find that part to be unpleasant, it still works but meh

5.0 out of 5 stars how bad could it be
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2016

guess I got a lemon. after reading all the glowing reviews, I decided to buy one. hey, it's a shoehorn, how bad could it be. I was happy to see it arrive with my other purchases, so I could give it a try. it was then that I noted a jagged bend in the metal as I ran my fingers around it. fortunately, I was not putting any pressure on the edge, or it would have torn the skin. either a manufacturing defect or someone tried to use it for a screwdriver. I was less than happy, but for seven bucks, didn't want to hassle with returning it. put it on my anvil and tapped it out to straighten it and smoothed the edges with a fine file. blended the work area with a green scoth brite. looks good, the length works well for me. issue is, where's the oversight. anybody give a rat's behind? this could have easily been a 5 star but for a defective product UPDATE I liked this shoehorn well enough that I decided to try another one. HUZZAH!! this one arrived in excellent condition, the way the first one should have. as stated previously, with no flaws, this is an easy 5 star. you can't improve perfect. 5 star it is. .

5.0 out of 5 stars This thing ruined my life
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2017

I thought I'd buy this thing to make my life a little bit easier. Little did I know the effect it would have.

I haven't tied my shoes since I bought this thing. I bought it and fell in love with how easily I could slip my foot into my shoes. It was so satisfying and smooth. It was like butter sliding down a tilted saucepan on a flaming stove. I used to jam my fingers in between my heel and the back of my shoes. My fingers were used to being smashed and abused. They used to be tough and strong. Now they're dainty and weak. Simple tasks like peeling an orange make my tender fingers swell with aches.

Whenever I go to friend's houses, I panic. I worry that I might have to take off my shoes and eventually put them back on without my shoe horn. I can't even remember how to untie my shoes and much less how to tie them back up afterwards. Can you imagine how embarrassing that'd be?

I love this thing but I don't recommend you buy it. It's addictively awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE IT! (See packaging note)

This is a great shoe horn. Well made, sturdy, easy to grip and my foot slides right in. I have used cheap plastic shoe horns. Never again! Love this and it will last a lifetime. I recently ordered a second one to keep in the car, as I frequently change from dog-walking park shoes to regular shoes. NOTE: a comment that has to do with the packaging. Be careful to open the package envelope at the top with the shoe horn at the bottom. I didn't do that and inadvertently cut into the small carrying bag that comes with the shoe horn when I purchased it the second time around. (I ordered it as the only purchased item and it shipped in a bubble envelope.) This in no way reflects anything negative about the product or the manufacturer, just don't cut with scissors close to where you feel the shoe horn. I regret destroying the little carrying bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only wish I had treated myself to one of these sooner

I’ve always torn up the back of my shoes as I squish my foot in and I bought this because I was replacing my shoes and didn’t want to repeat this with them. This thing is fantastic! Not only does it protect your shoes, it protects your fingernails from getting torn up when putting shoes on. I was very happy with this purchase and only wish I had gotten it sooner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice pocket shoe horn
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2021

This is a great shoe horn. (I know we haven’t needed these for ages, unless you were injured and could bend over far enough to reach your shoes). Some of the tennis shoes today are very snug in the heel and the back will bend into the back of the shoe. This is a larger size than your average shoe store plastic one. But not those giant ones with the king landless. It has a nice leather wrap on the end. And a carry case. Great deal!

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the Job

Not much to say here. It's a shoehorn.

Pros:
> Works as expected. Stainless steel
> Metal is firm and the "leather" grip is adequate. Thin enough to allow your foot to slide nicely but thick enough to prevent too much flex
> For $5 this is pretty good value
> Good size - large enough to not be a hassle to use and small enough that you could pocket it if needed

Cons
> Cheapo sleeve included (although I wasn't expecting any sleeve at all so I don't really hold this against them)
> "Leather" grip. Either this is the poorest grade real leather out there or it's just straight up faux leather. It's not bad quality by any means but no way is this a decent grade of real leather. Regardless it does the job but I do have some concerns about the glue holding up over time. There is stitching in place but that wont do much to prevent the grip from loosening up.

Well, it's a shoe horn. What can you say about a shoe horn?

Works great, but if you're thinking about a long or short one, I'd go for the longer. Yes, I know this is a "travel" shoe horn, so I'm giving it five stars, but I kind of wish I had gotten a longer one. Not sure if this company makes a longer one, but if they do, I'd recommend that. I have long legs so it's a bit of a stretch when I'm still trying to wake up going off to work in the morning, ha

But yes, if you've come here thinking you could use a shoe horn, yes, do it. This is a good one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for kids...buy 2!

Nice little sturdy shoe horn just like what dad had when I was growing up! Works great. The metal is sturdy and lets your foot slide in easily. Gave one to my granddaughter who struggled to get on her sneakers...showed her how easy it was to use...she loves it...had to buy another because she keeps ‘borrowing’ it. She’s probably the only kid in her class that even knows what a shoe horn is...something so old school and low tech...there is something to be said about the simple things in life. Highly recommend.
