Description

A shoe horn is a simple tool designed to assist in the process of putting on shoes, particularly those that are snug or have a tight opening. Typically made of metal, plastic, or horn (hence the name), a shoe horn features a curved shape with a flattened end that aids in sliding the heel of the foot into the shoe without damaging the shoe’s structure or the wearer’s foot. It serves to preserve the shape of the shoe’s heel counter while also minimizing strain on the foot and shoe during the wearing process. Shoe horns come in various lengths and designs, catering to different shoe types and user preferences.
