• "This shoe horn is strong and sturdy."

Cons:

• "Sharp metal edges of shoe horn cut into shoe's leather when weight put on it."
• "Bought to have a 2nd shoe horn while traveling. The metal this one is made of is MUCH softer than my other (Synovia) and bent after only a few uses."
• "It does work well and I like the size of it, but it has a tendency to bend out of shape easily."
• "The first time I used this it bent. I have bent it back to look similar to the picture on Amazon but it’s made it weaker."
• "After 4 weeks (the limit to return it) the shoe horn bent where the metal is thinnest."
• "Not too happy with this shoehorn. The metal easily bends, so not as durable as I would like."
• "Not a very strong shoe horn. I would think twice before I buy this brand again. It has hardly been used and is bent already."

Design and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "Great sturdiness and good size and design. Easy to use."
• "This metal shoehorn is sturdy and perfectly shaped to guide your foot into your shoe."

• "It's the right size, the right shape."
• "This shoehorn makes it easy to put on the sneakers."
• "This shoe horn has a perfect shape for getting shoes on."

Cons:

• "It only really works if you are sitting down and can bend over to your feet."
• "Seems to be very sturdy but I think it may be a little big (wide) for a woman’s foot."
• "Maybe a tad oversized. Would be too bulky to travel with."
• "It seems bulky and somewhat large."
• "Probably not the best choice for anything with a higher back since it is short."
• "Keep in mind it is just a little large, so if you have small feet or really small shoes, it may touch from shoe wall to shoe wall."
• "Very uncomfortable to use with any kind of boot, hurts your heel unlike a smooth shoehorn."

Material and Finish

Pros:

• "Will not bend because of metal and easy to use because it is so thin."
• "The finish on the metal is really smooth and won’t snag on anything."
• "The finish on the shoe horn is also holding up quite well so far."
• "The powder coat finish is flawless, as is the branding logo."
• "This shoehorn is made of fairly thick metal."
• "Solid metal, nice black finish... even the gold on it looks nice and elegant."
• "Quality is phenomenal, heavy-duty polished steel with smooth edges."

Cons:

• "However, the metal was a little chewed up the little shoot up on the rounded end that you put in the shoe."
• "Also it arrived with paint chipped off of it."
• "Looks really nice until you drop it the first time, then the paint chips off."
• "I like this for it's length but the company needs to improve it quality control for the finished product. Mine had a chip in the paint along one side."
• "This works but not stainless steel. I really like products made out stainless steel and this wasn’t and that’s why I’m disappointed with product."
• "It's metal. It's fine, but did it really have to come with a nick in the side with the finish worn off?"
• "Ordered a replacement and it was chipped as well. Had to return. Didn’t want it catching on socks."

• "I carry it with my golf shoes and since I am older it makes it so easy to put them on without a struggle."
• "Just what I wanted - a small shoe horn which I could carry around with me."
• "This show horn is very sturdy and easily fits into my purse for travelling."
• "I keep It in my purse! I change Out of my tennis shoes when I arrive to work and this is perfect to put them back on at the end of the day without untying them or breaking a nail."

Cons:

• "sturdy metal shoe horn won't break like plastic, but wouldn't call it travel-worthy since it's quite a bit heavier than plastic."
• "This works well for putting shoes on without damaging heels. It is just as pictured, but rather heavy. I would not use it for travel for that reason."
• "I bought it for travel but I think it’s too heavy to carry around."
• "I have not traveled with it yet. In a tightly packed backpack or duffel, I suppose the longish size of this might be seen as a downside."

• "I am not a small man, 230 lb, but this shoe horn was too wide and it was so hard to use it."
