use shoehorns properly

using a shoehorn is important

Shoehorn? Always! At any time!

Always, always please – use a shoehorn to put on your shoes. If you don’t have one at hand, use the end of the belt or, if necessary, a handkerchief.

It’s not just about protecting your back or stockings. The main thing is to protect the heel counter of the shoe. With the shoehorn it is not overstretched or kinked and the shape remains beautiful and stable for a long time.

Shoehorns are suitable and recommended for all types of shoes, regardless of whether they are high heels, sneakers, loafers, pumps or ankle boots. New shoes in particular will thank you if you use a shoehorn right from the start.

Long shoehorns are comfortable, of course, which is great when sitting down, while handy, small shoehorns are ideal for traveling.

How do I put on shoes with a shoehorn correctly?

  1. Loosen the laces of your shoes
  2. Hold the shoehorn to the heel counter of the shoe
  3. Place your foot on the shoehorn rail
  4. Slide your foot gently over the shoehorn into the shoe

When taking off, loosen the shoelaces and loosen the lacing so that you can easily pull the shoe off your foot with one hand.

THE BEST SHOEHORNS FOR THE LONG LIFE OF YOUR SHOES

Shoehorns extend the life of your shoes for a long time! Therefore, you should always use one when putting on your shoes.

Here I’ll show you the best shoehorns that I use myself.

The best Shoehorns

The perfect shoehorn set

That’s all you really need. A long shoehorn makes it very easy to slip into the shoes – whether sitting or standing.

The little shoehorn is perfect for traveling or in your handbag.

In addition, they are very robust due to the material and sliding into the shoes is absolutely problem-free due to the smooth surface – even with socks or tights. And you don’t have to worry that they can break. They can’t.

EXTRA LONG SHOEHORN

This one here is an extra long shoehorn which makes it even more comfy.

A 23-inch heavy duty and extra long shoehorn, one of the most advanced ones due to its thickness. It’s about 300grams or 11 ounces. 

I don’t want to miss mine anymore. 

Particularly noble shoehorn

Or maybe you want a visually appealing shoehorn that is the actual high end of all shoehorns. 

It’s made from European black walnut wood, super easy to use, smoothed around the edges. And the shoehorn and the base are magnetically fixed – easy to access and use!

With these products, your shoes will stay beautiful for a long time. And don’t forget to always use a shoe shaper!
