Shoehorns

The role of the modest shoehorn

The shoehorn plays an important role in our daily routine yet is typically an overlooked accessory. As well as easing feet into shoes, it helps extend the life of footwear by protecting the heel from unnecessary wear and tear. The design has evolved over the years and shoehorns now come in numerous shapes and materials, from wood to plastic. Artistic detailing on some of the shoehorns makes them an attractive decorative element too. But whatever a shoehorn looks like and is made of, its main purpose remains the same, offering comfort and convenience and making sure your shoes last longer.
