It cannot hurt to keep one or two of these around!

Having bought a new pair of shoes, I first attempted to slide my feet into them and the back of these "slip on" shoes began to collapse. I was not happy about this but being that I truly like these shoes, I opted to find some shoe horns which would suffice for our needs. When using, yes, it requires that you bend over, stoop down and place them on the heel of your shoes before sliding your feet into them. Others, come in a long handle and makes it easier to not stoop down. It's basically a case where one has to decide for themselves, to stoop or not to stoop.

PROS: Thick, nice quality, did not bend while using
CONS: None noted
