Shoe Horns

What is a Shoe Horn?

Shoe horns for seniors are designed to help facilitate gliding feet easily into shoes or boots. These handy products are must-haves to help get shoes and boots on with ease — without stress and strain on the back. Shoe horns provide a smooth ramp that holds back the heel of footwear to provide room for the foot to slide easily into the shoe — without the heel or ankle catching on the shoe while putting it on. Shoe horns are helpful additions to daily routines and allow users to put on footwear in either a standing or seated position.

Because these dressing aids historically would have been carved from animal horns and hooves, these tools were first coined “shoe horns.” Today’s shoe horns are generally made from metal, durable plastic, or wood. Each shoe horn is made from smooth materials to avoid snags and damage to clothing and footwear.

Why Should You Use a Shoe Horn?

User-friendly shoe horns help preserve the integrity of the footwear by avoiding repeated stress on the heels and the structure of the shoe. Putting shoes on and taking them off repeatedly can cause damage, wear, and significantly reduce their quality. A shoe horn can help prolong the life of shoes and boots, helping them to function properly and remain comfortable. Shoe horns are useful additions to a wide variety of available and helpful daily living aid tools, such as the FabLife Non-Folding Open Jaw Reaching Aid and Sock Aids 7 Pull-On Helpers. Each product is designed to make daily activities for seniors and those with disabilities less difficult. All-in-one kits are also available and include must-have items that allow those with limited mobility to groom themselves and live independently.

Long Handle Shoe Horn

There is a wide variety of available shoe horns, such as handicapped shoehorns, long shoe horn, plastic shoe horns, and wooden shoe horns. Combination shoehorn and dressing sticks are also available. When it comes to choosing the right shoe horn for an individual’s needs, it is important to consider how they put on their shoes. For some, donning their shoes is easiest while standing. This makes a longer shoe horn more practical. For others, putting shoes on while in a sitting position can be easier done with a shorter shoe horn.
