Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break
Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break
I feel like I've tried everything available in all the stores, at the shoe stores, I've bought the "good" ones off Amazon, the DUBEFWEE style brands too.
They all break or deform within a year, I can't take it

WTF is going on here??? I have literally NEVER known of or heard of anyone using a shoehorn. Even my grandparents. I live in the US. Is this maybe a niche thing in some other country????
I use a shoe horn. It’s stainless steel. It’s never broken and I’ve had it for over 20 years.
I don’t use it often, but for those times when your feet are wet/swollen or the shoes are leather dress shoes, it’s the only way to go.
Plus, anyone with high arches will need that extra assist. It’s not a nationality thing, it’s a foot and shoe type thing.
Have you ever tried loosening the laces?
Have you ever worn a pair of Florsheims or a pair of riding boots? You can totally remove the laces and you’ll still have the same difficulty.
“To shoehorn something” is a literal common expression in Spanish, lately often used to indicate a deliberated misdirection of a debate into a different argument at the minimum occasion (usually via any fallacy)… and there are even shoehorns literally with long sticks for the elders…
It's a fairly common expression in English, too, with much the same meaning. I don't know what sort of rock these people are living under.
My grandparents from Poland, and my grandparents from Italy had them, my parents and brother have them. I've never owned them. But I grew up in Florida, so you don't need them for flip flops
I'm with you. Everyone in this thread arguing for shoehorns comes off like an actual kook. Buy shoes that fit your feet, and loosen the laces if you're struggling. Anything else is stubborn insanity.
Some higher end brands come with shoe horns. I have a few now. I will say in all my years I have never broken or deformed one though, and I have some cheap ones from amazon too.
