Shoe Horns are useful tools used to remove the heel of shoes. They are typically made of a long spoon-like head and a short handle. The head is intended to be held against the inside back of a snug-fitting shoe, which allows the person to slide the heel along the basin to the inner sole.
Natural horn
A natural shoe horn is a practical and functional item that can make shoe-wearing a breeze. It helps to keep shoes in good condition and can prevent shoe-wearing related injuries and stress. Its smooth, long edges will not scratch your shoes and its long handle is made from sturdy lanyard. Another benefit of this accessory is its wide mouth, making it easy for people with disabilities to put on their shoes.
A natural shoe horn is a great gift for any age. Before the invention of plastics, shoe-horns were essential for proper shoe care. They are functional and beautiful gifts that can be used for years. There are many styles of natural shoe horns available, and Saphir Medaille d’Or produces two different models.
Metal
Metal shoe horns come in various sizes and materials, and can be used to extend and tighten shoes. They are available in plastic, metal, and wood. The plastic versions are most popular because of their low cost, and they are flexible, allowing you to bend them and adjust them to fit your foot. However, metal shoe horns are sturdier and won’t bend. In addition, metal shoe horns usually have a brushed finish, making them easier to handle and less likely to break.
Metal shoe horns are more expensive than plastic ones, but they can last a long time. Plastic models are lightweight and usually come in different colors. However, they won’t last as long, and they’re less effective than metal shoe horns. Plastic shoe horns are also more flexible, making them easier to use with stiff shoes.
Plastic
Plastic shoe horns are useful accessories for your home. They are easy to use, inexpensive, and come in a variety of colors. They are not as sturdy as metal ones, however, so they may not last as long. They also have a tendency to break or crack. This means that you should be careful when using them, especially if your shoes are stiff.
Shoehorns have evolved over the past few decades. Some have become more sophisticated and designed with secondary purposes in mind. Some are even decorated with animal heads. Some even come with variable length handles.
Wooden
Wooden shoe horns are a practical item that is used to protect the back of your shoes. They are small and durable, and have a leather band to make them easy to store. The rounded edges prevent the horn from slicing through the leather of the shoe. There are three main types of shoe horns.
Shoe trees are also a great way to maintain the shape of your shoes. This will help you put them on easily and maintain their shape for longer. They will prevent your shoes from stretching out or creasing, and will make your dressing ritual a little sweeter.
Engraved
Engraved shoe horns are an excellent gift for men and women who like to show off their style. A shoe horn with a name and a photo is always a hit. They can be personalised with up to seven lines of printing. They are durable and easy to use, thanks to their long length. They are made of aromatic cedar and have a faux leather handle.
In the past, shoe horns were mainly used by aristocrats, who wore expensive footwear. Today, they are available in various colors, shapes, and designs. Many come with multiple functions and cost a very reasonable price. Your recipients will definitely appreciate their gift every time they take off their shoes.
Personalized
Personalized shoe horns are a great way to show off your business. These handy promotional items are made from high-quality materials and feature a custom imprint. You can include a name or photo, as well as up to seven lines of text. They also come with a faux leather handle for easy use.
In the past few decades, shoe horns have become much more complex. They have secondary functions such as back scratchers and extendable handles. Some are even designed with decorative animal heads. They may have long or short handles, or feature a removable sock for a comfortable fit.
