Shoe Horns: We've got your back.
Posted by Liz J. on Jul 11th 2017
If your feet are constantly getting into a wrestling match with your shoes and boots, it may be time to invest in a shoe horn.
Shoe horns are curved instruments that allow you to more easily get your foot into your shoe. They get their name from the original material used to craft them: animal horn. Today, shoe horns are made from various materials, but the most common materials are metal, plastic, and wood. At The Shoe Mart, we offer steel shoehorns. Many of our steel shoehorns are wrapped in premium, full grained leather. This creates a functional product that not only feels rich when in use, but looks great, too.
A shoe horn’s purpose is to help you guide your feet into shoes that are tight-fitting. All you have to do is put the shoe horn against the counter, or back of your shoe, an
d then slide your heel along the horn until the foot is comfortably inside the shoe. This will allow you to put the shoe on without damaging the counter. We recommend using a shoe horn when you first order shoes from TheShoeMart.com so that if the shoes do not fit, they will be undamaged and in returnable condition. You can find our selection of quality shoe horns here.
Shoe horns are also useful for people who are not flexible or people who have back injuries. A shoe horn allows you to put on a shoe without bending forward to get your fo
ot inside. Long shoe horns even allow you to put on shoes while standing up.
Available with inscriptions or fun accents, shoe horns also make great gifts!
