Five Star Reviews: | 88% Very rugged, somewhat heavy, just the right shape and length August 29, 2017 Wow! These are heavy. They appear to be black powder-coat finish (I could be wrong) and durable as heck. The weight is not a problem, they're not That heavy, but compared to the wooden and plastic units I have used, I expect these shoehorns will outlast me.I've had wooden ones chip, plastic ones crack, but these - these you might be able to run over one with a car and it wouldn't be the worse for wear. (I haven't tried it.)If you use long shoehorns and toss them across the room or onto the bed when done putting on your shoes, I wouldn't try it with these without aiming carefully to avoid breaking something.I am Very Pleased with these (I bought two) and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for durability. A lifetime device January 17, 2017 Lavishing praise upon something as mundane as a shoehorn feels ridiculous, but the truth is that when you find an item that improves your life and requires not a single thought about it after its purchase, it's very freeing. My husband likes to use a shoehorn so he doesn't smush the back of his fancy dress shoes every morning when he goes to work. I was replacing his shoe horns every 6 months, because he's really rough (gr). He had a plastic one that broke, so I got a metal one. Whoops, the metal one has a handle that pops off all the time and I'm constantly gluing it back together. It's a semi-frequent frustration to deal with, and it's really not something I care to expend mental energy on. And then this shoe horn came into my life. It's long enough that my 6'4" husband doesn't have to bend down to put on his shoes. It is made of only one piece, so there's nothing to break off. It's super sturdy, so it won't be bending or warping. Done. Keep it by the door and never have to think about a shoe horn again. We will probably pass this thing down for generations, it's that sturdy. The downside: it's kinda heavy, so a person with bad arthritis might not be able to use it. However, it's great as impromptu home defense, if needed. Very sturdy shoehorn. GREAT FOR REMOVING COMPRESSION SOCKS. March 29, 2016 I purchased a second one to have available at our "snow-bird" home. After having broken a few plastic shoe horns, this steel one allows me to be as forceful as needed.BTW, this shoehorn works great for peeling off compression socks. Just roll the socks down a few inches, insert the spoon end down the inside all the way to the heel, and apply leverage. Normally, the socks will slide right off the feet. Good Product October 21, 2015 Long enough for a 6'1" person to use easily. Well constructed and not thin nor flimsy so using on boots should not be a problem. A little short of the thickness of a nickle. Perfect April 16, 2015 It's a rare thing for me to write a review; even more so for a seemingly prosaic item like a shoe horn. In it's class, however, this is a perfect product, the proverbial "one-hoss shay". I like long shoe horns, to help with boots and to minimize stooping. I've had many, over time, made of wood and plastic, that eventually broke, had to be repaired and, ultimately, to be replaced. I saw this in Amazon and was concerned that a 31.5 inch steal shoe horn might be excessive, like a bullet-proof dog collar or a lifetime supply of fish food (I have neither a dog nor a fish). Such was not the case, however; the length is exactly right, and the thickness of the steel is such that I am certain I will never bend it, without it being too heavy. While I realize such a discourse on a shoe horn may seem frivolous, I actually marvel every time I use it at how perfectly it suits the task for which it was designed. If you have every thought you might, even occasionally, need such an item, buy it. This product will enrich your life especially if you have health issues March 5, 2015 Pros:➢ Sturdy.➢ Perfect length.➢ Don’t have to bend over to put on shoes.➢ Great for folks with a bad back or other health issues.Cons:➢ Makes me feel lazy.Personal Experience with Product:I bought this product for one simple reason. I’m lazy. I’m not in bad shape or anything I just hate bending over. I figured it was the greatest invention since bacon cheeseburgers. And I told all my friends about it. Slipping on shoes was as easy as flipping the channels on a remote control.Then I realized it was a little too easy. My heart filled with shame. I was embarrassed to slip my shoes on in front of my wife, thinking she'd internally condemn my laziness. Then a friend of ours slipped on some ice and hurt himself. He’s an older gentleman with a bad back and neuropathy. I gave the shoehorn to him. He loves it! It’s helping him so much. Bottom line: If you have health problems that make it difficult to bend over: Get. This. Shoehorn. It’s built to last. It will make your life so much easier. | 76% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 8% The device works great, but because it is so long July 23, 2017 Bought this for my mom. The device works great, but because it is so long, it encourages her to put her shoes on while standing - perhaps not the best thing for stubborn elderly. 31 inch long stainless steel shoehorn! March 4, 2016 Kinda funny story....I will start by saying I love the 24 inch stainless steel shoehorn that I own. I use it for more than just putting on my shoes. It's a hook, a grabber, a "dragger", and can even be used for self-defense. I thought I was buying a 2nd one and I have now learned to pay attention and READ the description of what I am purchasing. This one seems way too long but then again I'm only 58 inches tall so naturally it's understandable I would feel that way. It's twice as long as my arms and if I stand to put on my shoes it comes up to my waist.It is sturdy and very good quality. If you are tall I'm confident you will will find it useful. Just what I needed! March 2, 2016 Was looking for a long shoe horn that would make it easier to slide my feet into a couple pairs of western boots that are very stiff in the heel area. It worked like a charm; no struggling to get the boots on anymore! Would have given 5 stars, but the metal is ever so slightly bendable, and I'm wondering how it might be affected after lots of usage. Perfect except for poor finish on nail hole January 9, 2016 This is just the right length. The metal is very sturdy. The paint has just the right slipperiness. The only problem is that the hole in the top for hanging it was not finished properly. It’s a little rough. It’s not exactly ragged or sharp and I don’t think it would cause a cut, but it is not a good finish. If it weren’t painted, I’d smooth it with a file, but that would destroy the paint. So, 4 stars. Otherwise, a great shoe horn. I thought I ordered the right handed one August 24, 2015 I thought I ordered the right handed one, but I think it's for left handers. Kidding aside, it's a very nice, quality tool. The length requires no bending on my part(5'10"). I highly recommend it. Well Made But Needs A Small Enhancement August 4, 2015 At 82 years, It is really nice not to have to bend over to get my shoes on. The item is very sturdy and you cannot ever bend or break it with normal use. However, I found holding the steel 1/3 semicircle that extends all the way from the shoe end to the top was uncomfortable. I went thru a large roll of cloth adhesive tape wrapping it around the top for a 6 inch grip. This removed the steel edges that made it uncomfortable when holding.The only improvement I would make is to add a smooth rounded handle wrapping the steel at the top. For a FRAIL PERSON it might be a bit heavy as it is all steel. | 10% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 2% Good March 1, 2017 Longer than I thought, but I can use it as a steading support (cane?) while putting on my shoes. Three Stars December 27, 2015 This shoehorn would be more functional if the curvature was slightly greater. Too big November 21, 2015 Functions as a shoe horn, but, it is so big and heavy that it was not easy to store. Cumbersome for my wife. Too Long-Measure Before You Buy It November 20, 2015 Its too long. I thought it would be useful when putting on my tall boots but its length is an impediment to getting them on because you can't bend over at all when you are trying to use it or it pokes you in the chest or arm pit. It must have been designed for people who have to do everything standing up and cannot bend over and it is useless for boots.I use it for tucking my jeans into the boots after I pull them on (instead of a ruler) and will get a shorter one. Maybe when I older I can use it better. November 18, 2015 A little too long! Maybe when I older I can use it better. | 4% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 1% TO HEAVY & NOT FLEXABLE December 22, 2016 Product is to heavy and not flexable to allow foot to slip into shoe.

One Star Reviews: | 1% Very cheap bendable metal, bends easier than a spoon July 18, 2017 After about a month the metal starts bending and completely defeats the purpose of having one of these. The plus side: it's recyclable May 9, 2017 After a few months of intermittent use, the metal is bent and the paint is peeling. I wish it failed sooner so I could have returned it. Since having knee surgery I have a hard time bending ... March 1, 2016 Since having knee surgery I have a hard time bending it to put my shoes on. I thought a long shoe horn would help. But it's very hard to hold & heavy. Bent Badly Upon Immediate Use Out of Package May 15, 2015 I was hoping to find a shoe horn that I could use with one hand to put on house shoes. I am trying to break a bad habit of walking into my house with muddy shoes. I know that most people love kick of there shoes upon entering their home after work or outside choirs, but as an amputee removing shoes decreases mobility. Decreased mobility means household tasks take longer and that's time I don't have. Furthermore, after an active day day at work I have to sit down after coming through my house door to remove work shoes and slip on house shoes. Sitting down gives sore muscles opportunity to stiffen and reduces all the mojo I had workin' (momentum/motivation) to complete choirs. I don't another reason to put of until tomorrow what could be done today. | 5% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
