20 Best Shoe Horn For Elderly (2023 Updated)

These (I received 2/pack) are very strong and sturdy. These are long and work very well for shoes and boots. Nice curved end to keep a hold of. Good metal/materials that feel of quality and duriability.

I received these free to test.

So many sports shoes need a shoe horn for getting shoe on without a roll developing at upper heels Frankly, just got tried of using my fingers to get foot into sports shoes without a struggle. These are so helpful! With anything else, your mileage may vary.

Beautiful boots! Very well made and great leather. I did have to return them as they are a bit narrow in the toe box and put too much pressure on my toe joint. If they were wider I would have kept the!.

Thursday Boot Co excels in quality and their accessories are no different. Never disappointed. I highly recommend as their price/quality are always on point

Built to last many decades, works great with tight slip on boots or ones that are worn at the heals inside. Only seconds on/off instead of minutes.

My husband doubted he needed this 31. 5 stainless steel shoe horn. He is now saying “what a great help this long horn is to me”. He uses it standing up, no bending or sitting, steel provides stability needed, slips on his shoes and away he goes.

Thanks for a great quality made product!.

I I’ve the shoe horn. If I was able to do it myself it would be wonderful but I need help with it. I think a plastic one would be better because of the ease of the bend in your shoe. My foot falls out because I can’t stand straight.

All and all the handle is all leather and is great. I got it in 2 days. if your not handicap it would be a great purchase but if you need help putting on your shoes a plastic one would be better. I give this one a10 😊.

I purchased this product for my elderly parents. I gave them one each and kept one in my home for when they both visit. They loved the fact that is so much easier for them to remove and to put their shoes back on.

It is an excellent product, the leather like handle and the sturdy metal helps shoes slide easily.

This was a birthday gift for my husband from two of his grandchildren. He has back trouble and has difficulty bending to put his shoes on. He has been looking for one of these for two years. He said it’s the best birthday present he ever received.

Now he can put his shoes on with out bending. It is long enough to do the job and very sturdy. I would definitely recommend this product to any one who has difficulty bending to put on shoes. The price was just right, too.

This shoehorn met most of my requirements before I bought it but at the first use my wife managed to bend the toe of the shoehorn while pushing her foot into the shoe. The end didn’t break but it deformed by 90 degrees.

It seems to be made of thin tin material and not strong enough to last. I bent it back to continue to use it but it has a fold in the surface that doesn’t look good. I now have to remind my wife to be very gentle with it.

I will replace it as soon as I find something sturdy.

I have had this shoe horn for less than 1 week and the shoe horn head and spring have already separated from the shaft. I am guessing that the glue used to bond the head to the shaft was poor quality.

In addition, the wrap at the top of shaft is a lower quality material and not leather. $12 for a shoe horn is a fairly expensive price for a cheap product. The manufacturer should not skimp on quality at this price.

Picture is deceptive. Why show three different size shoe horns when you only send one. The description under the picture is correct but above picture shows three. The seller needs to correct the picture.

PICTURE is deceptive; description is accurate. I was hoping to get a set of three but only the 16. 5″ arrived. Have not used it yet but expect to by tomorrow morning. It is replacing a plastic long handle shoe horn (actually the second plastic one as both cracked easily).

This metal one should be sturdier and last longer with cracking to snag onto socks/pantihose.

I am 72 years old and have trouble with slip-on shoes. Severe arthritis makes it difficult to bend over and my fingers don’t work so well anymore. This extended shoe horn is a life saver. I highly recommend it for anyone having physical disabilities.

Every time he uses it, he thanks me for getting it for him. He used to struggle to get boots and shoes on every day. He would end up out of breath and mad. Now it’s so quick and easy with no huffin’ and puffin’.

He literally says, “Thank you so much for getting me this. ” Well worth it!♥.

I wanted a Shoe Horn with a long handle to make it easier for me to put on certain shoes that I have. This Shoe Horn is exactly what I was looking for when I went on-line. This Shoe Horn has a white painted finish, a small bend to make it a V-Shape to make it stronger, and is plenty long to do the job.

I noticed a couple of reviews that said it bent while they were using it. It seems to be plenty strong to me and I don’t think I will have any trouble with it bending even while putting on some of my more difficult shoes.

I am pleased with this purchase!.

I like this and especially like the price for a steel shoe horn. It is replacing a plastic one I have used for a long time that finally broke in so many places it was time to replace it. This one would be great except that the part that goes into the shoe is not rounded to fit the heel of the foot.

It is just stamped into a V shape. I am sure that makes it less expensive but it also means it requires more room to use. If I were going to do it again I would get a different one with the rounded rather than V-shaped end.

I purchased these shoe horns before and just bought 10 more for my friends and loved ones. Bending over trying to slip on shoes is rough as one gets older, these shoe horns work great and there is no leaning to put your shoes on.

I highly recommend them. They are very reasonably priced too.

They say its the little things in life, and this is one of those great little things. I can’t see why this product wouldn’t last a LIFETIME. This replaces what I thought was a sturdy plastic shoe horn that had broken.

I am so impressed with the sturdiness, the length, and the function of this product. I liked it so much I have now purchased three and even given this as a gift. The daughter loves it because she never unties her sneakers.

I like the length as it helps with my work boots. Others in the family appreciate this due to arthritis. It’s worth keeping one in every location you put on or change shoes!.

Great for people like me that find it hard to get your shoes on due to not being about to bend over as freely as most people can. Helps me a lot. I just hope it holds up and doesn’t bend like other cheaper metal ones have.

Thanks for fast shipping but shipping packaging was none existent. Shipped in a bag only with min. bubble wrap. But it made it here OK so can’t complain, I guess.

Not as flexible as a plastic shoehorn, but certainly more durable. Well finished. No rough or sharp edges. Pleased with this product.

Doesn’t work for me. Still need shoe horn. Not tall enough to cover outside of shoe and utilize floor as backstop when pressing foot into shoe.

I love this product! I have a long metal rod on my spine and cannot bend to put my shoes on. The FootFunnel allows me to put my shoes on without help!So, I’m ordering another one. It needs to be a bit sturdier though! Thank you, Gail.

Well, I can’t honestly say that I “adore” it, but the price is decent, and it certainly makes it a lot easier to get some of my shoes on. However, it doesn’t really work well with sandals or high tops.

If you really have trouble getting into your shoes, I’d say it does a good job when used on shoes with counters,.

Durable enough. Just the right length. Great price. Very useful as one looses ability to bent! I wished we could select the colors. We got lucky and received 2 pairs of 3 different colors two of which I like.

The other pair will be given to my in laws as a present!.

The shoehorns were a special need to me. I am unable to bend to insert my feet into my shoes and so, with the flexibility and length of the shoehorn, I am able to wear my shoes without struggling.

These were very nice. I used 2 on my trip (my friend of 72 years) to Iceland and all over. we both loved them. they saved us our backs and time. I bought 12. plan to give to others my age (76) to add a little ease in their lives.

thanks. super deal.

This shoe horn is Awesome. Yes it’s a little heavy, but I have had the lighter ones and the bent while using them. Highly recommend I even got them for my older brother for Christmas.

Solid, strong, and just the proper length to avoid unnecessary bending.

Top quality at a good price. This item is perfect for us “older” customers. No need to bend over to put on shoes or boots. So good, I even ordered some for Christmas Gifts.

Thought it would have a straight handle but is slightly curved and is more difficult to use than a straight handled one. In my therapy session they showed me and let me try, a straight handled one.

I really will need to order a metal one of these. This plastic is easily breakable. The length is good, but the hook at the narrow end is too wide to fit in the loop on any of my pull-on shoes

This shoe horn is flimsy. It bends in half every time it is used. I do not expect it to last more than six months. I was expecting rigid plastic. I would not buy a plastic one online again; I would only buy a plastic one if I could test it out first.

My son and I often hurry into our shoes and have worn out and crushed the back parts many shoes. One day I ended up breaking my Jobsite plastic shoe horn with surprising ease and sought a replacement.

I was very pleased to find this metal shoe horn online and only regret not ordering this sooner. (I waited a week and tried a cheap shoe horn, which I did not like to use more than twice). The Vermont shoe horn has a nice length and weight, and unlike the former plastic one I had, this one will bend a little as you slide your foot into the shoe, making the job easier.

The shoe horn has what feels like a baked enamel coating, which feels sturdy, and is smooth, so it won’t fray the fabric of the back of your socks, which I had happen from rough surfaces on the cheap shoe horn I had.

I highly recommend this as to anyone who likes long shoe horns, and definitely recommend this over plastic. I feel it is of quality that will last for more than a few generations. I do not have issue putting on my shoes and am very active, I just prefer using these over using two fingers to save the inner heels of my shoes =).

I have owned this for a few years now and use it almost daily for one thing or another like reaching something up high in my closet, or for putting on shoes actually. I am buying another for a gift, maybe 2! Love, love, love it!.

We have used shoe horns for many years. I found them helpful even overseas on a river cruise. Recent knee surgery made it harder to put on my shoes, and this long version of a shoe horn was just what I needed.

I’ve even given them to 2 other people. Something that doesn’t wear out and is actually useful for generations!.

Bought the 20 inch shoe horn and it bent the first time I used it! Thought it was going to be heavy duty quality as advertised. Have a plastic one that works better. Can’t recommend!

This tool is very helpful to put on shoes when your hands have limited flexibility. It is easy to use and the length is helpful and it is very sturdy. It allows me to put shoes on with less effort.

Excellent product. I had a small problem with this item but the company responded quickly and 100% positively to my needs. This is definitely a company you should do business with.

I’m an older guy now & from various sport’s injuries I have a hard time putting my shoes on each morning. To compensate I’ve purchased several different shoe horns that are longer than the usual 5-6″ inches you usually see in a Shoe Store.

Ones that are 18″-24″ enabled me to NOT have to bend over. The problem was that some are made of 2 parts (Wood & Hard Plastic or ones made of a long piece of metal). After less than a year of use the 2 parter came apart & eventually the metal one would start to bend & you’d end up having to use a plyers to move the metal back to it’s original shape.

(Mission Impossible) What to do? DXL To The Rescue! I found the perfect solution on the DXL Website a friend told me about. They had an extended shoe horn made of a very strong piece of SOLID wood with a great handle I could use to hang it on my bed post.

The hand carved piece of wood “looks like a work of art. ” A comment my wife made after seeing it hanging there. ADDED bonus was that the on line sale person told me I had the option of having it delivered to my home or pick it up in a local store.

I chose the pick up option. THAT, proved to be a extra bonus as I had never been in one of their stores & I went to the shopping center next to CO-OP City in the Bronx, NY. The store had a great display of clothes and the staff was friendly.

They took care of me right away & I was on my way. Not b before checking out the variety of quality clothes they have in larger sizes. I know I’ll be back to this store in the future (Only 25 minutes from my apt.

) DXL is a place to check out.

I am someone who hates to tie and re-tie my shoes. I’d much rather just stick my foot in my shoe and go. This creates a lot of wear and tear on the heal of my shoes, and probably ruins the lifespan of footwear.

This elongated shoehorn is perfect for slipping my feet into my shoes and eliminates the need to pop out the rear of my footwear when I inadvertently crush the heal the old way. It is prefect for avoiding bending down to put your foot in your show and is just an overall time saver.

I purchased this shoe horn on Monday. On the rack rack was a split shoe horn that I gave the salesman telling him it looked bad for that to be on the sales floor. Not thinking about the cracked one I bought one.

Sure enough I used it for the first time Thursday and it cracked. I should have known not to buy it when there was a cracked one on the rack. Waste of money.

I injured my hip and need to eventually get it replaced. In the meantime putting on my shoe was very difficult. I had bought shorter ones that didn’t help a lot and also one that was flexible with a spring on it.

That one was made so thin the shoe part kept bending. This shoehorn is great. It’s very easy to use and built to last.

The best quality so sturdy, use it each day post surgery and still use it! Even got one for my husband & he loves it as well! Will not bend or break like others Ive used this is so sturdy even with daily use remains like new!! SUPERIOR PRODUCT!!!.

Long metal shoe boot horn was great for partially handicapped patient to reach to get into shoes with less problem than when using a small short shoe horn. Good looking sturdy product.

So I’m a pretty tall guy and while I can still get around jsut fine I find bending over isn’t exactly my favorite task. That’s why I this this shoe horn is the best, the extra length lets me bend without having to use my knees.

Cannot say the same about the shorter versions, they bascally do nothing for me.

I gave this shoe horn as a father’s day gift and he has since told me it was the best gift ever. He days he uses every day and it makes his getting dressed so much easier and faster. He absolutely loves it.

❤️.

I’m a tall guy and this extra length shoe horn is great to help put on shoes without bending over in the morning when im stiff. with the lifetime warranty this is a no brainer as i have broken other plastic show horns.

I have just discovered shoe horns recently and swear by them now! I have a long one at my house, but loved the compact size of these. I ordered multiple so I can easily travel with them. I travel regularly for work, and this is now an item that remains in my suitcase and travels with me! I don’t need to bend the backs of my shoes anymore from quickly putting my foot in them, this simplifies everything and keeps my shoes looking nice!.

I wanted an un bendable solid shoe horn. Amazon has many listings most look cheap and flimsy or they are Very expensive. Almost bought an antique on ebay. Then I went to WM. They had EXACTLY what I wanted @ $2.

95. I am seriously happy with delight. These are Un-bendable and SOLID S/S.

This is a nice size for a shoe horn. The old standard short ones are too short for some shoes and short boots. I got this for a pair of slip-on shoes that are a little high in the back and this shoe horn makes them slide on easily without the back folding over.

I’m retired and choose to wear sneakers most of the year or sturdy hiking sandals in summer. I am lazy about laces, hate to tie them or to constantly re-strap or buckle sandals. Using these, it’s simple to slip them off and on without ruining the heel backs.

The slight backward tilt and the way this flares out to the bottom, help feet slip easily into my footgear. I own other shoehorns, a couple that are much longer and a few short ones. I have to sit to use the short ones, but these are just enough longer and if necessary, I can bend at the waist to use them.

The two I purchased in yellow color makes spotting them in a purse or bag a cinch.

The heels of many sneakers are very soft and a shoehorn is very helpful. I’ve had wooden shoehorns and plastic ones, but this is the best for 2 reasons. The metal is very strong and does not bend and the size is excellent.

Also pleased that I could choose from several colors. I’d recommend this shoehorn to everyone but someone who must have a long handle. Also want to say that Red Moose’s website is easy to navigate and the shipping was reasonably priced and prompt.

I love this thing. Yes, yes I know it’s only a shoehorn. But it feels great in my hand. The weight. The grip. The balance. The craftsmanship. I bought a second one to leave at our vacation place. Where I live, upper management (read loving wife) request that you remove shoes inside.

I’m taking off and putting on my shoes frequently. With this over the top shoehorn I’ve added a little joy to simple process of putting my shoes on.

I have worn and hiked in Ecco Sandler for many years. Love them. However, since they don’t come in wide (which I need to part of one foot) I think the fron part should be adjustable. That way get themed fit the heal and if necessary adjust the front.

This is the best Shoehorn I own. The curved hook top is perfect for hanging. I plan to purchase 2 more.

Our plastic shoe horn from Macy’s cracked so had to replace it. I was doubtful about being too hard since it is metal. Not a problem and works like a gem!
