This OrthoStep shoe horn is a very good product.  I particularly like the fact that the edges are neither sharp nor rough.  Therefore they do not scuff the shoe or snag the sock.  Also, alhough the handsome appearance of this shoe horn is secondary to its function, why not have a utilitarian object that looks good, too, as this one does?  (Now my next step is to toss my old shoe horns, every one of which came with a sharp edge.)
