Easy to use shoe horn. Very convenient to use. The extra 24 inch long handle makes it less stressful on the back and no pinching of the thumbs or fingers when trying to slip on shoes quickly or on the way out to the door. Bought mine a couple weeks ago so not sure how long it will last, so far still holds out. Will try to update more info in a 6 months to a year and see then. For now its a great product, price is very reasonable. If you bought or have more then one, great to leave one at the office, or gym, or gift for anyone tired of getting their hands, thumb or finger pinched or soar. Reduces back pain when bending over (for me). No strain of the arm/muscle trying to push the shoe in with great effort. With this 24 inch extend long handle shoe horn, it just make it easier, faster and convenient. Very practical for its use.
