Long Metal Shoe Horn 40cm

Description

Long Metal Shoe Horn 40cm – slip your shoes on without bending down

A good long shoe horn is one of life’s quiet luxuries, and this 40cm metal shoehorn is exactly the right length to make putting your shoes on effortless. No more bending, stooping or crushing the backs of your shoes – just guide your heel in smoothly and stand up straight. With its sturdy metal build and smart modern look in black or silver, it is as pleasant to look at as it is to use.

I recommend a long shoehorn to absolutely everyone, but it is especially helpful if you have back trouble, reduced mobility, or you simply value a bit of everyday comfort. It also protects your shoes, which is close to my heart as a shoe specialist.

People sometimes think of a shoehorn as a small luxury, but as a shoe specialist I would call it essential kit. The most common way shoes get ruined is not from walking – it is from being forced on at the heel, day after day, until the stiff heel counter collapses and creases for good. A shoehorn removes that stress entirely and adds years to the life of your shoes.

This 40cm version is my favourite length because it works whether you are sitting or standing, and it is long enough to save your back yet short enough to store easily by the door. The metal build feels solid and reliable in the hand, nothing like a flimsy plastic horn, and the choice of black or silver means it looks the part in any hallway.

Why choose this long metal shoe horn?

• No bending required – the 40cm length lets you put shoes on while standing, easing strain on your back and knees.
• Protects your shoes – stops the heel counter from collapsing and creasing, helping your shoes keep their shape and last longer.
• Strong metal construction – sturdy and durable, with a reassuring, quality feel compared with thin plastic horns.
• Smooth, comfortable entry – guides your heel in easily, which is a real help for bunions, corns or sensitive feet.
• Smart modern design – available in black or silver, so it looks good left by the door.

How to use your long metal shoe horn

1. Loosen the laces or straps of your shoe.
2. Hold the shoehorn by the handle and place the curved end inside the back of the shoe.
3. Rest your heel against the smooth surface of the horn.
4. Slide your foot down and forward until your heel drops into place.
5. Remove the shoehorn and fasten your shoe as normal.

Haico’s tip: Hang it on a hook by the front door so it is always to hand. Using a shoehorn every single time is the easiest way to keep the heels of your shoes looking new for years.
