    Default Shoehorn

    http://www.durgan.org/ShortURL/?UFLMPn 25 November 2008 Shoehorn

    Putting soft shoes and rubber boots on without a shoehorn is slightly difficult, and often on soft shoes the heal part gets damaged over time, and the back part of rubber boots get worn due to the friction of the socks wearing the back inside, when inserting and removing the feet. Most shoehorns are too short for convenience, and often too weak in structure to do the job adequately. Here is a shoehorn that is ideal.

    This strong, convenient, shoehorn is available from IKEA, a Swedish Company, with retail outlets in Canada.

    Link wouldn't work for me. I have one of those short little ones & you are right, practically useless. And with my back all that bending & twisting to use it can be awkward at best. As I get older those practical, really usefull things really start making sense.

    This is pretty handy and practical because you don't have to sit down to use it. Add in inexpensive and it's a winner.

    How neat, wish there was an ikea here. Looks like it can double as a back scratcher too. I've been using my metal spaghetti serving fork (over my clothes & it gets washed well) :teehee:
