This works, enough said! My father-in-law brought this down to our house once and left it there. So we start using it - my wife and two young children. It made it very easy to put on shoes standing up. The black plastic is a bit flexible, but we find that actually helps better lever on the shoes. The small ring at one end made it convenient to hang next to the front door as well.

A few weeks ago we lost it and honestly have been a little lost without it. You might be thinking, "How lazy can you get?" but once we got used to using the shoe horn, it really made putting on already tied shoes a snap. We've since gone back to tying and untying our shoes like before, but now that I've seen this shoe horn offered as a set at such a great price, I'm snapping it up!

Better to stick with the *cheap* plastic model.
